About Chris Coleridge
My work over the past 18 years has had two facets: strategy teaching and consulting; and entrepreneurship teaching, acceleration and advisory. Strategy/Innovation Management Teaching and Consulting I have taught strategy, strategic management and innovation management inside academia (CJBS, UCL, Imperial College, London Business School in London and Dubai, LSE) and for many large and midsized organisations outside it, for some of whom I have also consulted (Omnicom, Marshalls, FPE Capital, JLL, Sberbank, Lloyds Banking Group, Santander, Porsche, the UK Ministry of Defence, BAE Systems, IBM, the UAE Prime Minister’s Office, the Sanger Institute, AstraZeneca.) I have also supported executive programmes at London Business School, including Executing Strategy for Results, Making Innovation Happen and Exploiting Digital Disruption. I have a particular specialism in strategy in ecosystems (eg, technology partnering strategy), as well as a love of teaching pricing strategy and strategy execution. Entrepreneurship Teaching, Acceleration and Advisory I have taught entrepreneurship inside academia (CJBS, UCL, ESCP Europe, London Business School) and outside it (Goldman Sachs 10ksb, London Stock Exchange ELITE in London, Milan and Beirut, New Entrepreneurs Foundation, European Institute of Innovation and Technology, UK Business Growth Builder, ConceptionX, UK-Lebanon Tech Hub.) I was formerly programme director of the MSc in Technology Entrepreneurship at UCL, and founded and ran the Cambridge Judge Launchpad (Masters and PGDip in Entrepreneurship). From 2019-23, I founded and ran Carbon13, the Venture Builder for the Climate Emergency-- on my watch, we made 65 pre-seed investments in climate tech ventures, each with the potential to mitigate at least 10m tonnes CO2e per annum at scale.
