Chris Addy

Chris is a partner in Bridgespan's Boston office and the Co-Head of Bridgespan’s Philanthropy practice.

Chris advises groups with significant capital that seek to make social change. His focus is on helping clients to understand the potential impact of any funding under consideration and to identify, design, and execute on big bets, large initiatives for social change. This includes helping clients get clear on their values and beliefs, identifying areas of interest and desired results, developing strategies, sourcing NGOs/social enterprises, conducting due diligence, and structuring funding. While donors/investors are most often his clients, Chris also works closely with NGO leaders and social entrepreneurs to refine their strategies and develop operating plans. Prior to joining Bridgespan, Chris worked as a management consultant at Bain & Company in Chicago in a wide array of industries, including agribusiness and retail.
