Chris Meyer zu Natrup

I’m a humanitarian and a dad. My life's work is disrupting bad business practices and turning surviving NGOs into thriving NGOs. I'm the founder of MzN, where we equip non-profits and other organizations, including foundations and socially conscious corporations, with the tools to help themselves – and thus help others – by improving their operational structures, and strategies so they’re financially sustainable.  I'm grateful to work with some amazing and inspiring people and organisations who make the world a little better. But I'm also impatient with waste and inefficiencies – we need better-managed organizations to face an uncertain future.   I started out as a Chartered Accountant in the UK. But the world of finance was not enough, so I volunteered in humanitarian disasters and development projects on the ground. It was eye-opening.   I did a postgrad in international relations and began to research better operating models for non-profit organisations – research that I still carry out to this day with the University of Bristol. I began working with senior government officials and international organisations on institutional reforms and capacity enhancement assignments. I soon saw a way I could help people in need by bringing together my head for finance and analysis, my corporate leadership and humanitarian experience. My clients often have to focus on helping others, so they don’t have time or the knowledge to put in place good practices that will carry through and make the end result they deliver even better.   MzN supports organisations with organisational development, digitalisation, strategy, finance and funding. We reform and build better organizations, giving easy-to-follow advice on business strategy and business development. We empower organisations to optimise their day-to-day business processes using simple steps. MzN also helps non-profits secure stable income streams through our dedicated funding-support service.   You can get in touch with me via www.mzninternational.com. I would love to work with you and drive your team forward so you can do good – better!
