Chris Griffiths

Chris Griffiths has over twenty years experience in leading successful technology based businesses. He founded his first business at the age of 16 and sold his first company at the age of 25.

He was a Founder and Chief Executive of a UK Plc, where he grew revenues by 1,495% over a five year period and increased the share price over three years by 590%. He is an expert on combining modern brain based thinking strategies, processes and techniques with technology to produce synergistic results.

Companies with which he has been involved have been ranked in the 'Deloitte Fast 50' and 'The Sunday Times / London Stock Exchange Fasttrack 100', which list the fastest growing companies in the UK. He has also won awards for innovation and creativity.

He has lectured to audiences throughout Europe, the Middle East, Far East and US, on entrepreneurship, the brain, learning and the impact of technology on human thinking.

In 2005 he founded Buzan Online Limited with Tony Buzan, and is realising his vision to produce software tools that use technology to enhance creative and innovative thinking skills.

Chris Griffiths is also the co-author of ‘Mind Maps for Business’, written with Tony Buzan; a recent release which has quickly become a bestseller and a critical success, with one reviewer describing the book as “refreshingly new, relevant and well-researched”. Rocketing into the Top 5 of the Amazon UK Business Chart, ‘Mind Maps for Business’ is a pragmatic guide to implementing Mind Maps to secure success. Chris drew on his own business knowledge and extensive experience to write the book, which details how to use this adaptable thinking tool for any situation from planning your week, maximising your creative and original ideas, to goal setting.

In 2010, Chris was appointed CEO of ThinkBuzan, a company which combines the output of Buzan Online and the Buzan Organisation. Tony Buzan appointed Chris as CEO due to his "commitment to their vision". Chris Griffiths is extremely proud of their progress so far, and excited for the future, in which he hopes to bring mental literacy to a wider global audience.

I consider Chris Griffiths one of the great talents that will bloom in the years ahead."

What I like about the way Chris works is that he has a great understanding of how computers work but also how the human mind works - learning how to learn. It is finding this common ground between the two that works so beautifully so I look forward with eagerness to the next chapter..."
