Chris Wilson
Partner & Co-Founder
With three decades of consulting experience in technology, data, and strategy, Chris has advised both banking and investment clients and, more recently, early-stage companies tackling climate change, sustainability, and biodiversity. With a background in science, economics, and techology, he began at Andersen Consulting, later developing investment platforms in Europe and joining digital banking pioneer egg plc.
After returning to Australia as a Deloitte partner, he established the firm’s first climate change and sustainability practice. As early carbon pricing initiatives stalled, Chris refocused on advising leading financial institutions and high-growth startups, including launching NAB’s UBank and cofounding ANZ’s venture arm, 1835i. He now advises and invests in ventures like Textile Recyclers Australia, ReGenco, and CO2 Australia, and founded Subak Australia in 2020 to support climate-focused non-profits.
