Chris Wronski

Chairman

Polish-born, London-based Chris Wronski is the chairman of global thematic channel broadcaster and distributor Chello Zone, the company he founded more than 15 years ago.

Born in 1961, Chris moved to the United Kingdom as a teenager to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. He trained at the Barbican Overseas Film Training school in London, and on graduating began his professional life in the music business. He soon carved out a respected reputation for his work representing blue chip entertainment clients on media strategy and distribution in Eastern and Central Europe.

Chris established Chello Zone (then called Zone Vision) in 1991, using his experience to seize the opportunities presented by the burgeoning cable and satellite market in Eastern and Central Europe.

Chris’s vision and commitment has been the driving force behind Chello Zone’s dynamic global growth. In 2005, Chellomedia, a subsidiary of Liberty Global Inc., acquired a majority share in Zonemedia. As chairman, he continues to develop and expand the company, which today broadcasts nine thematic channels to over 325 million households in more than 125 countries.

The father of two lives life in top gear; to relax he indulges in a personal passion for fast cars and Formula One racing.
