Get to know... Chris!
Chris Spence, living in Yorkshire (UK), has been strengthening our team for the past five months as a Global Key Account Manager. In this role, he collaborates with both our internal team and our genetics and agricultural clients, nationally and internationally. Representing our parent company, IMV Technologies, he brings strategic insights, fosters collaboration, and drives innovation. All with one clear goal: achieving sustainable growth.
His education is in forensic science where he fostered his passion for science. Soon after leaving University he joined National Milk Records in the UK where he spent five years working closely with veterinarians and farmers, this is where his love for the industry was born. He then spent over a decade at IDEXX Laboratories, managing one of the largest European accounts. There, he honed his skills in strategic account management and building strong client relationships.
Connecting is the key
Work processes differ across the globe, and there is much we can learn from these differences. “My role is to connect countries and processes. It’s essential to understand how our clients operate so we can develop standards together that help them get the most out of our products,” Chris explains. With his strategic perspective and broad approach, he translates valuable insights into concrete solutions. This not only supports product development but also helps businesses grow and prepare for the future.
Tailored support for growth
Chris is looking forward to supporting both NIFA and our clients. “I enjoy helping customers achieve their goals by providing solutions tailored to their unique needs,” he explains. To do so, he will work on-site, getting to know clients better and collaborating on innovative solutions. “By truly immersing myself in our clients’ businesses, I gain an understanding of their workflows, pain points, and concerns. This enables us to co-create products and services that drive growth and innovation.”
In addition to offering strategic advice, Chris is happy to assist with day-to-day challenges. “That practical support is just as important,” he emphasizes.
Innovation with a long-term vision
Chris looks beyond today’s challenges, concentrating on what businesses will need five years from now. Whether working with genetics organizations or international agricultural projects, Chris will look to co-create solutions that add real value and contribute to sustainable growth.
