Chantelle Ludski leads the Anthesis North America & Asia Pacific region and is a member of the Anthesis Global Leadership Council. Prior to joining Anthesis, Chantelle held the role of Chief Administrative Officer for the Americas at Renewable Energy Systems, Inc. She took on that role after serving as the first ever Global Chief Risk Officer at publicly traded Arcadis N.V. in Amsterdam, for three years. She moved to the Chief Risk Officer position from Arcadis UK, where she served as Director of Operations and Performance Excellence, Arcadis UK, a role she took on following the merger between Hyder and Arcadis in 2014. In Hyder UK, she was HR & Change Management Director and member of the UK Regional Executive Team. Chantelle joined Hyder in 2012 as Operations Director for the UK Land Development, Buildings & Environment sector, responsible for project and commercial performance of that business unit.
Chantelle started her career in her native South Africa as a Corporate & Commercial lawyer in private practice, before moving to a General Counsel role with one of her firm’s clients in the UK. She left legal practice and while studying for an MBA at London Business School, started a small organic coffee on campus on the back of a love of good coffee, which she couldn’t find on campus. Chantelle successfully raised venture capital funds and grew fresh! naturally organic into the leading organic chilled food- to-go business in the UK market, supplying all the leading grocers and food service providers.
Chantelle lives in Longmont, Colorado, where she shares a house with her husband, their teenage son, and the family rescue Labrador. For relaxation, Chantelle likes nothing more than flinging flies at fish, with varying degrees of success.
