Chris Denby is Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Advisory Board for the Arts

Chris founded the Advisory Board for the Arts in 2019 and is the company's CEO. He has over 30 years of experience in the business world, both in consulting, with McKinsey & Company (in Italy and the US), and as a top executive for almost 20 years at the Advisory Board Company, in the healthcare industry. During his career in business, Chris pursued, in parallel, a passion for the arts by being deeply involved in the sector, as a board member, board chair and pro bono consultant.

Now as Chief Executive Officer of the newly formed Advisory Board for the Arts (ABA), Chris formally combined those parallel tracks in service to the arts and culture.
