Chris Attenborough

Head of Contract & Business Management
at
BT Group

I am a skilled and experienced contracts and commercial professional, having managed many large, outsourced contracts over the last 15 years (values ranging from £50m up to £200m per annum), with major international blue-chip clients. I have a strong track record of delivering innovative and creative solutions for customers and am also recognised as a trouble shooter with a broad range of experiences, to fix major commercial disputes (ranging in value up to £20m).

Having held several senior management positions, I have experience across all elements of the contract lifecycle and in many disciplines including P&L / account, relationship, programme, and operational management etc, with particular emphasis in all areas of transformation.

Personal strengths include a decisive and creative approach to commercial problem solving, political awareness, well developed negotiating skills and flexibility in dealing with rapidly changing business demands.  I am a very driven individual, who is extremely results / outcome focussed. I have extensive experience of leading cross-functional project teams and negotiating at senior level with “blue chip” suppliers.  My passion is working with people (whether teams, colleagues, partners, or customers) to collaborate and deliver outstanding business results.
