Christian Tooley is a multi-award-winning strategic advisor, impact investor, and global speaker. He consults, coaches, and invests alongside radical founders, bold funders, and progressive organisations building for systems change — at the intersection of strategy, systems, and scaling. He serves as Entrepreneur-in-Residence at the London School of Economics (LSE), and Investor-in-Residence for a global longevity venture builder.

Formerly Bain’s Venture Lead for EMEA — where he led strategy, innovation, and investment projects — and a World Economic Forum Global Shaper, Christian brings over a decade of global insights from advising Fortune 500 CEOs, fund managers, and startup founders across cities from London to Hong Kong. He is the founder of i³ investing, Europe’s largest LGBTQ+ founder and funder group. As an angel and board advisor, his portfolio spans healthtech, deeptech, fintech, and consumer sectors.

A sought-after keynote speaker & facilitator — from SXSW to Web Summit — he guides others to reimagine systems in an increasingly chaotic world, bridging tech and truth. He is currently developing Contradict, a platform exploring the messy intersections of capital, culture, and systemic contradictions. Outside of work, he has solo-backpacked twice across Asia and Latin America.
