The Start-Up Diaries Podcast

Chris McGowan
Host, The Start-Up Diaries

Managing Director, North, Burns Sheehan

Chris leads up our Manchester team, focusing on building tech teams across the North’s strong network of start-ups and scale-ups.  

With more than eleven years’ recruitment experience, he was one of the Manchester office’s first hires when it opened back in 2016. Since then, he’s scaled the team into the powerhouse it is today.

His favourite thing about the job is networking; talking to business owners about their vision, passion and where they want to go with what they’re building.

Chris has lived in Manchester since falling in love with the city while at uni. In his free time he likes playing golf badly and supporting Glasgow Rangers. His most proud achievement to date is that he’s a three-time NFL Fantasy Football Champion.
