Chief Brand Officer

Bio

Before becoming Chief Brand Officer, Christopher's most recent role was Founder and CEO of School House — the creative agency that has now become a part of Front Row. School House specialized in cut-through strategy, engaging creative, immersive environments, and compelling content for the world’s most in-demand beauty brands. Christopher led thought leadership and creative direction across all School House and School House Studios disciplines, including new brand creation, brand re-creation, retail concept and design, campaign creation, and content. But his journey in beauty did not begin here…

Christopher started his career on the sales floor of Sephora in 2003, and slowly worked his way to a regional position in the Northeast overseeing animations and events. From there, he joined Space NK Apothecary leading design and creative for the U.S. market at the initial launch, and was promoted to Global Director overseeing the retailer's design and creative. He eventually joined LVMH's Fresh overseeing Global Design during its pivotal growth years of 2011-2015, leading and participating in the brand's redefinition of its DNA, Codes, Visual Identity, Retail Design, and launch across APAC and EMEA.
