Summary
Chris Challis is a Business Systems Analyst with 13 years' experience applying business analysis, project management and systems configuration across insurance and telecom expense management. He combines deep insurance domain knowledge—including Solvency II and motor claims—with hands-on technical skills in SQL, UAT, release management and test automation to bridge business and IT. At Regis he led configuration, testing and service desk improvements for multiple mutuals, reducing reliance on external suppliers and embedding repeatable regression testing. He also managed high-value international telecoms accounts at MDSL, quickly becoming a subject-matter expert in clients’ processes and reporting needs. Chris pairs an MSc in International Management (Distinction) with pragmatic problem-solving, strong stakeholder communication and a track record of turning complex requirements into reliable, auditable solutions. Colleagues describe him as adaptable and empathetic—equally effective leading teams or getting into the technical detail himself.
