Jessica Schinazi - CEO of Away
I'm thrilled to endorse Chris as a transformative supply chain and logistics leader. He has a proven track record in leading complex end to end operations in large companies (including after-sales, reverse logistics, global markets, vendors, etc) and he does it with grit, humility, resilience, huge employee advocacy and continued customer obsession - delivering impressive results, consistent KPIs and quantifiable efficiencies in an always volatile landscape. Beyond operations, he brings true strategic thinking to the table and will problem-solve with an owner's mindset on all challenges, old and new. There is nothing I haven't thrown at Chris that he hasn't been able to fix, solve, scale and optimize over time. I've highly enjoyed collaborating closely with him on so many different topics - his intellectual curiosity, GM accountability and sense of humor, are a tremendous asset to any leadership team.

Gregory Young - MD @ Dyson Canada
I had the opportunity and pleasure to work with Chris over an extended period during the last 5+ years. We worked directly together in Canada while Chris held the Head of Logistics role as an expat (he sat on my Canadian Leadership Team during this period), and indirectly, on and off, while he was working in the US. During the entire period, whether in a direct or indirect capacity, Chris's passion for the role and the people was steady and true. He faced the hardest challenges head on, with open communication and fact-based analysis. It didn't matter if he was leading a new project with the workshop, or untangling a sticky customer/shipment issue, or even leading relationships with our 3rd party logistics partners, he served his customers/stakeholders with great respect and was dedicated to the success of the organization. I will also credit Chris (and his family) for taking the leap of being an expat in the North as I know the courage required to follow this journey. It was a pleasure to work with Chris and I would relish the opportunity to do it again.

Rafael Sanchez - CEO Mexico, Central America & Caribbean @ Castrol-bp
I am delighted to recommend Chris to anybody looking for an amazing professional. I have known him since his early days as a Head of Supply Chain in Canada, and I had the distinct pleasure of working closely with him as he transitioned into a Global Aftersales role before assuming his current leadership position. Over the years, his journey has been marked by an unwavering commitment to excellence and a steady evolution in his professional capabilities. Working side by side on initiatives to optimize the aftersales and refurbishment business, I witnessed firsthand his analytical prowess and his methodical approach to overcoming challenges—even when global prioritization setbacks threatened to impede progress. His ability to dissect complex problems, develop creative solutions, and navigate organizational hurdles has been nothing short of impressive. More importantly, his honesty, maturity, and steadfast adherence to strong values have consistently distinguished him as a reliable and inspiring leader. It is rare to encounter a leader who combines deep industry knowledge with a principled approach, yet Chris does so effortlessly. His forward-thinking strategy and commitment to operational excellence make him an invaluable asset, not only in his role today but as a visionary leader poised to drive transformative change across the Americas. I wholeheartedly endorse Chris for any role. His blend of strategic insight, analytical skill, and ethical leadership will undoubtedly contribute to the success and growth of any organization fortunate enough to have him at the helm.

Michael Bauer - Head of Supply Chain @ AIR
Chris worked for me for six years at Dyson. During that time I saw him consistently grow as a leader, manager and influencer. He is highly respected up and down the organization, and he is always willing and eager to take on new challenges and opportunities. Chris consistently exceeds expectations. He is operationally very strong while also having a strategic mindset. I believe his greatest skill is his ability to build teams that perform at high levels and drive results. Chris has excellent experience across demand and supply planning, customer service, distribution and fulfillment, logistics and contract manufacturing. With these skills, I highly recommend Chris for any leadership position.

Russ Sacks - VP Sales @ Dyson
I had the pleasure of working with Chris during my time time at Dyson, and I can confidently say that his contributions had a transformative impact on our Order Management processes.
When Chris joined, the order management function was in need of refinement and optimization to better support the growing demands of our sales team. Over the course of his time in the role, he took on the challenge and turned his Dept into one of the most efficient and seamless functions my Team interacted with during a period of tremendous growth; in no small part supported by his group.
A very welcome and key achievement was streamlining our processes to enable the sales team to focus more on selling, rather than getting bogged down by administrative tasks. He introduced new systems and automated workflows that drastically reduced manual work, allowing our Account Managers to spend more time engaging with customers. This shift also included directly supporting the team with customer visits, where Chris played an instrumental role in fostering strong relationships with key Strategic accounts, including Costco and Walmart. His deep understanding of customer needs and ability to anticipate and solve problems helped our sales team tremendously in exceeding our financial goals.
Additionally, Chris’ dedication to the team's success extended well beyond standard working hours. We were part of the “6:30 AM Club” in the office (pre-pandemic)—demonstrating his commitment to excellence and ensuring everything was set up for success from day one. This dedication was critical in navigating challenges and consistently hitting our goals.
By the time Chris was promoted to manage operations in Canada, the foundation had been laid for strong sales volume growth, thanks to the systems and relationships he built. His impact on the sales team's ability to focus on strategic growth, while ensuring that the operational side ran smoothly, cannot be overstated. I have no doubt that Chris will continue to bring the same level of innovation and leadership wherever he goes, and I wholeheartedly recommend him for any future leadership role. -

His collaborative mindset created an environment where people were empowered to step up, contribute and grow.

Bailee Lauer - Director of Communications @ Vital Farms
Chris and I worked together during our collective time at Dyson in two capacities. The first was during my time as a volunteer recruiter at the James Dyson Foundation. When the opportunity to volunteer in Chicago Public Schools, Chris immediately raised his hand to co-lead engineering workshops with elementary and high schoolers. When he volunteered, he brought vast amounts of energy and knowledge, inspiring the students to think about engineering and STEM careers in a new light.
The second was during my time as the Americas Internal Communications Lead at Dyson. Chris was a trusted partner and advisor, providing honest and direct feedback on various internal communications initiatives (product launches, organizational changes, return to office information, etc.). I knew I could count on Chris to provide feedback that captured not only his thoughts and opinions but also those of his team.
Chris is a galvanizer by nature, bringing contagious enthusiasm to any situation, whether it's 30 fifth graders or a room full of colleagues. If I had the chance to work with Chris again, I would do so in a heartbeat. -
Scott Copeland - VP Asia Pacific @ GXO Logistics, Inc.
I had the pleasure of working alongside Christopher Wellborne during our time at Dyson. Although he did not report to me directly, we collaborated closely across several cross-functional initiatives. From the outset, Christopher stood out as an engaging and forward-thinking professional.
He brings genuine curiosity to his work, asks the right questions, and consistently looks ahead to identify opportunities for improvement and innovation. His ability to think strategically while staying grounded in the practical details made him a valuable contributor to any discussion.
Christopher’s energy, openness, and future-oriented mindset made him a great team player and a clear talent within the organisation. I look forward to seeing where his career takes him. -
Kirsten Mitchell - Logistics Lead Canada @ Dyson
I have been fortunate enough to work with Chris for over 6 years, 3 of those with him as my manager, both during his role as Head of Supply Chain Canada and Head of Americas Logistics. Chris is a strategic thinker dedicated to driving results. He is adaptable, skilled at navigating the many changes shaping Supply Chain and the North American market today and above all an incredible people manager who leads with compassion.
Chris is always willing to step in and help, even when something falls outside his role. When Chris moved to a new role in the US, he continued leading Dyson Canada’s Transportation and Warehousing RFP. When dealing with a lengthy system outage at one of Dyson’s 3PL partners, Chris stepped in and performed hours of manual work each evening to help our team keep orders flowing.
The thing I appreciate most about Chris is his passion for people management. He always takes a genuine interest in his team members and other coworkers. He advocates for his team and prioritizes career and personal development rather than only results. Chris creates an environment where his team can feel comfortable having difficult conversations. He knows when to speak up and when to lighten the mood with a joke. He is also a strong supporter of DEI, even spending hours driving to rent a car for our walk in the Toronto Pride Parade.
Any company would be lucky to have Chris and any person would be lucky to work with or for him. -

In a very short time, he turned our logistics function into a high-performing, highly motivated team that’s aligned, accountable, and proud of what we deliver.

He’s brought a sharp focus to budgets and cost management while still pushing for performance and service excellence. His ability to drive improvements in efficiency and spend, without losing sight of the customer or the team, is a rare skill.
Chris also has a natural way of building relationships. He’s approachable, easy to talk to, and brings a sense of camaraderie that makes working with him enjoyable.

I highly recommend Chris for any supply chain leadership role. I worked with him for ~4 years at Dyson and was constantly impressed with his ability to think strategically about big picture initiatives while also making sure all the day-to-day operations were going smooth. I saw Chris promoted through multiple different roles and each time he hit the ground running. He navigated through COVID, major warehouse negotiations, and multiple reorganizations; all the while he was consistent in delivering the in period P&L results, making progress towards strategic goals, and being a first class business partner to his cross functional partners. Layer on top that he is a people first leader who takes a much pride in supporting his team as the results he drives. All around good guy and great supply chain leader – couldn’t recommend him more!

We were dealing with restructures, shifting priorities, and all the day-to-day chaos that comes with a fast-paced supply chain environment. Through it all, Chris was the kind of leader who kept things steady, focused, and surprisingly fun.
Chris has that rare ability to handle serious challenges while keeping the mood light. He brought a clear vision and deep logistics knowledge, whether it was reworking carrier strategies, streamlining warehouse operations, or helping the team pivot quickly. But what really made a difference was how approachable and grounded he always was.

I always valued how he encouraged honest conversations, trusted us to take ownership, and celebrated our wins, big or small.
