He has been Global Head of Resourcing at Trafigura, the commodities trading company since 2008, moving to Geneva with them in 2011. Craig has been a key figure in the Trafigura Foundation working with colleagues to support local charities in the various offices they have around the globe.
Craig was the Captain of the Trafigura dragon boat team (Captain Jack Sparrow) which won the coveted fundraising challenge cup in the Paddle for Cancer Lac Joux event in 4 successive years from 2015 to 2018 with over CHF500k raised by the Trafigura team in that period. In 2017 they also had the quickest boat but it’s the fundraising cups which Craig was most proud of.
