Background

About Chris Humphries

Enthusiastic, entrepreneurial, innovator - always learning and put client needs at heart of all solution selling activities through the creation of strong relationships and alliances; I have over 40 years’ IT experience, working Client side and for leading IT service providers Fujitsu and Atos. Today (2021), organisations are working very hard to create strategies to Survive, Revive and then Thrive in whatever their new normal is. This requires Supply Chains that are Secure, Resilient & Adaptable, creating a Data Driven Strategy that allows them to "Connect, Protect & Manage their Digital Assets". I am proud to be working @ the heart of this value proposition, working collaboratively with customers to deliver on this mantra. At Fujitsu we take away the pain from the customer, addressing the threats posed by external cyber actors, allowing our customers to focus on their manufacturing and plant operations, whilst we protect the foundations that provide business continuity. I am Pre-Sales Solution Director for Fujitsu's Manufacturing, Utilities & Services Sector, including Automotive, leading our value propositions to clients in this sector. I work collaboratively with customers to support the transformation to a truly digital organisation that remains competitive - co-creating ideas, solutions and services. My role is to support Account, Business Development and Sales colleagues in the development of winning solutions and service propositions, working closely with clients to understand their requirements, providing value-add business solutions based on capabilities and experience of Fujitsu and its partners. In the initial execution of a new contract, I work closely with clients during the mobilisation and transition phase to ensure that requirements are fully understood, and the right capabilities are provisioned. In recent years I have attended Fujitsu's Top Performer's Club event, and received a "Connect Communicate Collaborate" champagne award for another major Divestment and Acquisition deal where Fujitsu is providing services to both organisations. I am a commercially aware IT professional with the experience of multiple career roles that have enabled me to establish a deep understanding of IT Outsourcing and Transformation across Private and Public Sector organisations, with much time spent on international assignments for companies that operate on a global scale. I am Walking Football Team Lead for Staffordshire, working with the FA and more recently Google in promoting the benefits of participation, for social and health well-being.
