SKILLS
ABOUT CHRIS LEINSTER
I’m a senior strategy and transformation leader with over 10 years’ experience supporting executive teams in large, regulated organisations to define long-term direction, shape investment decisions, and translate strategy into meaningful action.In my current role at Sky, I operate at enterprise and portfolio level across digital, AI, and customer transformation initiatives. I work closely with senior leaders across Commercial, Customer Experience, and Technology to shape demand, prioritise investment, and govern portfolios of change aligned to long-range plans. A core part of my role is helping leaders make confident decisions where trade-offs, risk, and delivery readiness need to be balanced.I’ve also worked within the energy sector at SSE, supporting strategic decision-making in a regulated environment. Across my career, I’ve been motivated by roles where good strategic thinking genuinely helps organisations make better long-term decisions - particularly in complex, environments where clarity, governance, and alignment really matter.
