Business Success Partner, Wanaka
With three decades of international business experience, including two with Red Bull, one of the world’s most iconic consumer brands, Chris Lanigan is a New Zealand business advisor and strategy consultant who helps owners design stronger, more profitable companies.
He believes that knowledge and information are remedies to uncertainty and focuses on asking the questions that lead to better decisions and enduring results. Having lived and worked across the Middle East, Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Chris brings deep expertise in business strategy, financial management, project management and commercial business development, helping organisations grow both margin and sales.
Chris holds a Master’s qualification in Business Administration and delivers practical business coaching in Wanaka, New Zealand, supporting founders to turn complexity into clarity and improve long-term performance. He believes that managing employees and workload pressures are not problems to be
accepted, but challenges to be solved through clear systems, shared accountability and better decision frameworks.
“Sound business is not about working harder; it is about designing systems that create clarity, control and confidence. That is what makes success sustainable.”
For the past decade, Chris has helped small and medium business owners across New Zealand increase the value of their companies through structured improvement and sound decision making. The Business Success Programme provides a full and comprehensive process to review gaps that dilute business value. A key contributor to improvement is having the right mindset for discovery and learning, as performance is both capability and behaviour.
Currently based in Wanaka with his wife, Chris works with ambitious owners who want their business to run soundly, not solely rely on them.
