Team
Chris Rawnsley
Strategic Growth and Transformation Director, iS3 Ltd
Background
Chris is a strategic growth, sales, transformation, and turnaround specialist with experience starting, stabilising, and scaling businesses from local owner-led operations through to national and global organisations. His background is built through delivery, not theory.
He has led businesses and functions end-to-end, taking accountability for strategy, sales, commercial performance, operations, delivery risk, margin, and people leadership. He has worked in early-stage, underperforming, and scaling environments, and helped create the structure, clarity, and execution capability required to move organisations to the next stage of growth.
Approach
Having worked across local, national, and international settings, Chris understands how requirements change with scale: from cashflow and sales discipline at the early stages, through to governance, operational control, and delivery at national and global levels. This allows him to help leadership teams grow without losing control, margin, or momentum.
His approach is practical and execution-led. He focuses on aligning strategy, sales, operations, and delivery into a single, coherent operating model, ensuring growth is profitable, sustainable, and manageable. Strategy only matters if it gets implemented.
What Chris Does at iS3
- Strategic growth and scale, from local to international operations
- Sales and commercial development, creating predictable, repeatable revenue
- Transformation and change, improving performance and delivery capability
- Turnaround and stabilisation, restoring control and confidence
- Strategy execution, turning intent into measurable results
He works as a trusted advisor to leadership teams: providing challenge, clarity, and direction, while coaching and developing teams to execute effectively themselves. His role is to strengthen decision-making, build capability, and leave organisations better equipped to deliver long after the engagement ends.
