  • Executive Director FI Community Client Association
  • Mentor ATP Player Mentoring Programme

On the tennis side, Christopher is a mentor in the ATP Player Mentoring Programme — a 10-month initiative pairing professional players with business leaders as they build careers beyond the court. The inaugural cohort began at Wimbledon and culminated at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters, where he was one of fourteen mentors working with fifteen ATP players, including Jan-Lennard Struff — and he continues with the 2026 programme.

Earlier, Christopher started his first software company serving financial institutions out of his college dorm room, grew it profitably to seven countries, and exited successfully — later building startups in board governance and compliance and advising ventures through acquisition and growth. He is a founding member of the Silicon Valley Blockchain Society and was invited to join 30 socially minded entrepreneurs on Necker Island with Sir Richard Branson.

He previously served on the Dean’s Advisory Board at Butler University’s Jordan College of the Arts and on the board of the Rose Bowl Stadium Legacy Foundation in Pasadena, California, and remains active in wildlife conservation through Tusk and WildAid. He splits his time between the San Francisco Bay Area, Henderson, Nevada, and Carmel, Indiana — and travels with a camera whenever he can.
