Chris Martin - CEO and Founder

'Growing up in the digital age has given me incredible opportunities to explore diverse roles and positions, from serving in the British military in my early adulthood to cutting my teeth in brand management in my late twenties. Later started my brand management agency in the UK, then took up a global brand position out of Hong Kong as a chief operations officer and head of digital commerce for Hey Dude shoes. This journey has allowed me to gain invaluable experience from brand and customer perspectives. It has deepened my understanding of how our personal and professional lives evolve, especially in digital commerce. My approach throughout has always been customer-centric, placing a strong emphasis on understanding and satisfying the needs of the end customer, always learning, and constantly adapting.'

Chris is the CEO and founder of Maratau, bringing an extensive background in eCommerce, operations, logistics, brand management, brand protection, CX and UI frameworks. He has held several C-Level positions in various D2C, B2C, and B2B brands, including COO and CEO roles. Previously, Chris served as the COO for Full Fortune Brands Limited, a Hong Kong-based company who owned the Italian casual shoe brand HEYDUDE that was acquired by Crocs in Q1 2022. Additionally, Chris is a shareholder in several privately held D2C brands.
