Chris Thompson – Managing Director

“The Green School has been a magical and enriching place for our family. We would love to see our children graduate from here. I smile every day when I walk onto campus. It is a privilege being part of this community.“

Chris loves the Green School and the world of education. He has been working with the Green School in an advisory capacity since he first arrived in July 2010 and was then asked to join the Green School Board.

He has been in the media world for over 23 years almost all of which he spent with Electronic Arts (EA), where he saw the company grow from a start-up to a $5 billion organization. His focus was building, nurturing, growing and helping organizations across the world including the UK, Germany, Canada, Japan and Singapore. Chris finished his career at EA as Vice President and General Manager of Asia based out of Singapore to move his family to the Green School after he and his wife met with John Hardy one evening.

Chris served on a number of academic/government boards and advisory committees including the Singapore Media Development Authority, Nanyang Poly (SG), Temasek Poly (SG) and the Institute of Technical Education (SG). He has been a featured speaker on media trends speaking region wide at conferences, schools and universities. He is currently an advisor to the Board of Directors of TwoFour54 where he directs the government of Abu Dhabi on their media investment and development strategies, and he advises a variety of tech start-ups here in Bali.

But his heart is in education and he thinks he has found a good home.

Chris has two children, Chayton and Chenoa, who attend the Green School, and his wife, Joanne Guelke, is a health, fitness and yoga professional with international experience teaching yoga and personal training.
