Christopher Lowery is a ‘Geordie’, born in the northeast of England, who graduated in finance and economics after reluctantly giving up career choices in professional golf and rock & roll. Chris left the UK for Switzerland in 1966 and has lived and worked in six different countries over the last 50 years. He was a real estate developer and Telecoms/Internet entrepreneur and inventor and has created several successful companies around the world, notably Interoute Communications, now Europe’s largest cloud services platform provider and Wyless Group, now part of Kore Telematics, one of the world’s largest Internet of Things providers.

In 2014, Chris started writing historically/factually based thrillers and the first two volumes of his African Diamonds Trilogy - The Angolan Clan & The Rwandan Hostage, were published by Urbane Publications, a UK publisher. These books are based upon his family’s experiences during the Portuguese Revolution of the Carnations of 1974 and his daughter’s work as a delegate with the  ICRC in Rwanda in 1996. The third volume,   The Dark Web, was published in April 2018, and draws on his experience as one of the creators of The Internet of Things, between 2002 and 2016. His fourth book, The Mosul Legacy, an unrelated storycharting the parallel deadly journeys of two groups of travellers from war-torn Iraq, was published in September 2018. Requests from readers resulted in Triple Jeopardy, a follow-up to the African Diamonds Trilogy, published in February 2021. The story borrows from his wife’s experience in the Geneva auction business and his own extensive knowledge of international banking and finance. His illustrated All About Jack stories for children are written in humorous verse, and were published privately.. 

Despite studying the classical guitar for several years and having a mother who was a very gifted pianist, Chris manages to play guitar and piano rather badly and sings even worse.  However, his love of poetry inspired him to write songs and record them for posterity. A chance introduction to  Anthony J Resta, a multi-platinum music producer, in Los Angeles, resulted in the production of their new-style Country Album, Life Happens.

Chris continues to be very active in assisting start-up companies and in writing and composing, with new books and a new album in preparation at the present time.  

He and his wife Marjorie live between London, Geneva and Marbella. Their daughter, Kerry-Jane, is a writer/photographer/publisher who lives in London.
