Chris Philipsborn

Spear’s Review

As executive vice president of Kreab London and managing partner of the firm’s London office, Chris Philipsborn brings over three decades of experience in reputation, crisis and communications management.

Acclaimed for its discretion, Kreab deploys its services at highest level, frequently advising C-suite and senior management. ‘Often, perhaps three to five people in the organisation will know that we’ve been hired,’ Philipsborn tells Spear’s.

The former journalist, who spent time writing for the Financial Times, the Economist and the BBC, advises corporations, law firms, NGOs, governments and individuals. Before joining Kreab, Philipsborn was at the helm of large organisations including BT Group and Sellafield, the largest nuclear site in Europe. ‘I’m not a stranger to crisis,’ he says.
