Chris empezó a navegar a los veinte años, pasando la mayoría de los fines de semana en regatas a lo largo de la Costa Este del Reino Unido, navegando desde Burnham-On-Crouch, haciendo tanto regatas costeras alrededor de las latas como regatas en alta mar por todo el Mar del Norte. Un traslado a la Costa Sur en 2010 le ha permitido trasladar su pasión por la navegación a su vida laboral como director de marketing centrado en lo digital.

Como nuestro Growth Hacker, Chris se encarga del crecimiento continuo de la comunidad de savvy navvy , supervisando nuestra actividad de marketing con un enfoque en la actividad pagada y orgánica.

Cuando no está navegando o compitiendo los jueves por la noche en Lymington, puede encontrar a Chris montando en bicicleta por el New Forest, tanto en carretera como fuera de ella, practicando paddleboarding, comiendo pasteles galeses e intentando evitar que sus hijos gobiernen la casa.

After completing her Master's degree in computer science in Germany Surya joined RideOS to work on their routing engine. Since then Surya joined savvy navvy.

“Although I have zero experience or knowledge of sailing, the task of routing through open seas is a fascinating challenge. I can't ask for a better set of people or a better company to work for.

As someone who enjoys travelling and experiencing different cultures, I can't believe I missed out on sailing so far.”
