About

Chris leads the Sustainability Reporting, Enablement and Governance team at Amazon. This team plans for compliance with proposed Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) regulations (SEC, CSRD, ESRS, EU Taxonomy) by building a trusted and useful reporting infrastructure. In addition, the team supports existing Sustainability disclosure processes for statutory and voluntary reporting globally at Amazon. Chris is an advocate for the theory of stakeholder capitalism and the role that finance can play in the transition to a low carbon economy. He is a member of the Accounting for Sustainability (A4S) Controllers network and has participated in multiple panels as part of Climate Week NYC and COP 26. In addition, he was a member of the SASB Sector Advisory Board for Software and IT services and spoke on the main stage at the Annual SASB Symposium. Prior to his time at Amazon, Chris was Senior Manager on the SEC Reporting and Technical Accounting team at Salesforce.com, specializing on the implementation of ASC 842, non-standard accounting for complex transitions, and owning the consolidated statement of cash flows. He was also deeply involved in ESG reporting at Salesforce - partnering with the Sustainability and Impact teams to ensure metrics were calculated in a transparent, consistent, and verifiable manner. He supported the Office of the CFO in the management of Salesforce's commitments as part of the Accounting for Sustainability network. Prior to Salesforce Chris worked at PwC in the Private Company Services group in both Toronto and San Francisco. He gained extensive external audit experience serving clients in a variety of different fields: technology, real estate, manufacturing, logistics, venture capital, and not-for-profit organizations. Chris is passionate about traveling; he has lived abroad in Bangkok, Thailand where he studied international business and international business law.
