Christopher Knight

Success in executive search is as much about strategy as it is about individual hires.

Chris Knight is a Page Executive Associate Partner and a specialist in CFO and senior financial profiles in the United States.

After earning a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting & Finance from the University of Bristol and adding an MBA from Babson College, USA to his CV, Chris set his sights on recruitment in 2015. Since then, he has mastered the balancing act between managerial and consultancy roles, gradually leaning back towards his undergraduate area of Finance.

Fast-forward to 2023: Chris recognised he got the most satisfaction working with clients to fill C-suite and VP Finance roles. Deciding Page Executive was his natural home, he joined what he describes as “a talented peer group — some of the top recruiters in the United States.” At Page Executive, Chris has been an asset across the board, helping to build the finance function and exchanging insights between teams outside the finance discipline.

On the client side, Chris works hand-in-hand with publicly traded, pre-IPO and Inc. 5000 companies on assignments ranging from traditional performance-driven profiles to fresh perspectives to change things up. He finds motivation in helping companies not only with individual placements but also with over-arching executive hiring strategies. His dedication and commitment to the big picture are clear and his modus operandi is to truly get to know both clients and candidates, whether it’s a regional, national or global hire. 

Out of the office, Chris is a True Blue — a huge Chelsea fan. But despite what some might say, football (or soccer!) isn’t everything in life. He never says no to a game of golf, a day on the ski slopes or a trip abroad, but he’s a family man at heart and loves nothing more than spending time with his Son.
