Key People

  • Chris Lorang

    CHRIS LORANG

    CEO / Founder

    I have far, far too many devotions: my beautiful family, my obstinate dogs, the outdoors, skiing in Queenstown, my wife’s cooking, Central Otago pinot, Hunter Valley mornings, surfing badly, fishing on the South Coast, a Sushi place in Sausalito, rugby, the Beach Road Hotel, Bondi on Sunday mornings, Friday nights with friends, Kyokushin, golf in Maui – far, far too many. I’m also very into the new brandscape in the digital world, the creation of community, advocacy and relationships, I’m fascinated by the power of the internet in retail and what it can do for challengers brands. So many devotions, so little time.
