Chris is Associate Chief Information Officer (Information Assurance & Governance) at the University of St Andrews. Although born in Glasgow (1972), he considers the North East of Scotland to be his home, having spent much time in Peterhead, Fraserburgh and Aberdeen. He now lives in Brought Ferry.
Chris read Librarianship and Information Studies at the Robert Gordon University (RGU), graduating with first class honours (1994), before reading for a Postgraduate Diploma in Information Analysis (1995). Following a short spell in industry as an IT trainer, Chris returned to RGU, where he was responsible for developing IT skills teaching in undergraduate and postgraduate modules.
In 1996 Chris joined the University of Abertay Dundee, where he has had rich and varied career, predominately in the field of information management (academic librarian) and latterly as the officer responsible for corporate information management (data protection, freedom of information) and risk management across the University. Chris also served as one of the 4 Depute heads of Information Services. Whilst at Abertay, he trained as a human resources manager (Graduate Member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (2004)) and as a Records Manager, MSc with distinction (2007) from Northumbria University. He has also published in the fields of information literacy (2004) and records management – advocating the use of records management information retrieval philosophies as a means of improving access to information from corporate Websites (2007) and (2010).
Chris’s has also work has involved a number of cross-institutional projects. He was project manager of a SFC funded project to implement that National Entitlement (smart) Card (NEC) across Scotland’s universities and colleges and has been a consultant on a British Council project to develop information literacy frameworks in sub-Saharan universities. In both instances Chris was involved in developing and securing the funding bids £93,000 and £250,000 respectively.

Without being reckless, Chris has a business focused view of legislation and regulation – in that it should aid institutions in their mission and development and not hinder them via obsessive compliance and the introduction of unnecessary and/or artificial barriers. The Data Protection Act for example is a set of 8 principles of good information management – that if adopted (proportionality) will help organisations improve and become more effective. Chris is also part of the senior management team of IT Services and in that is responsible for providing leadership and direction as IT Services emerges from a period of reorganisation. He also has responsibility for policy development and implementation.
