Chris Major

Founding Partner

Responsible for identifying investment opportunities and strategic fit within the portfolio as well as supporting operational growth-related activities.

Chris is a serial entrepreneur and knows exactly what it takes to be truly successful in this space. He has more than 20 years Bioprocessing experience, in both upstream and downstream technologies.

Prior to BioProcess360, he created and led the Purolite Bioprocessing division. He started the venture in 2015 with zero revenue, turning a profit within 2 years and achieving revenues of $80m within 6 years. The business was acquired in 2021 for $3.7BN by Ecolab (ECL. NYSE).

His first start up was WAVE Bioreactors where he helped drive the adoption of single-use technology. WAVE was acquired by GE Healthcare (now Cytiva) in 2007. He has also spent time driving global commercial activities with key accounts at GE Healthcare and Merck Millipore. He started his career as a bench scientist, holds an MSc. in Biotechnology and attended Harvard Business School.

Chris has a passion for adrenaline-fueled activities - anything related to two-wheels. He enjoys enduro trails off-road biking, motorcycles and mountain biking as well as climbing, paddleboarding, live music, festivals, playing the piano, and any sightseeing holidays that involve beaches and water. He is also a committed and caring father of two teenage girls.
