Christian G. Malissard - Executive Advisor Blending Strategic Performance, International Leadership & Adventure

16 Oct 2025

Christian G. Malissard is an Executive Advisor with a clear focus on management performance, team development, and organisational success. Quintessentially French, but having gained British citizenship after three decades in the UK, he brings together the sharp logic of French business thinking with the pragmatism and clarity often found in British leadership - a powerful combination that defines his advisory style.

From Corporate Leadership to Trusted Advisor

With over 20 years of international senior leadership experience in blue-chip companies including SUN, EDS and AT&T, Christian’s corporate grounding is both deep and diverse. In 2001, he launched his own Executive Advisory practice, Eagle Performance, which he led for more than two decades. The firm earned a global reputation for driving results through performance-centric consulting before closing in December 2024 as Christian moved on to new ventures.

Driving Results That Make Sense

Christian’s hallmark is strategic clarity - everything he does must make sense and deliver results. As a Trusted Business Advisor, he supports C-level executives with leadership transformation, organisational alignment and decision-making under pressure. His unique blend of straight-talking advice and results-focused mindset has led to long-term relationships with over 50 companies worldwide.

Adventure as a Leadership Metaphor

A passionate adventurer, Christian leads expeditions each year - whether climbing African summits, riding motorcycles through rugged terrains, or dog-sledding across frozen Canadian lakes. He uses these intense experiences as metaphors for leadership, risk-taking and team dynamics. His portfolio of adventure films serves not just as storytelling tools, but as impactful visual aids that resonate deeply with corporate audiences.

Christian often says - "The critical success factors of a great expedition are the same as those in management - preparation, trust, adaptability and shared purpose." His ability to link these worlds gives his sessions a memorable and transformative edge.

Speaker, Facilitator, Mentor

Christian is regularly invited as a strategic facilitator and keynote speaker at leadership events across Europe. His high-energy presence, sharp observations and provocative humour are well-known among participants, making him an unforgettable contributor to any executive programme.

In 2019, he extended his influence to social impact. As a dedicated volunteer, he designed a business and entrepreneurship programme for teenagers from non-privileged backgrounds. To date, over 100 young people have discovered the power of entrepreneurship through his workshops, with many identifying personal goals and even launching their own ventures.
