A global network

Pacific Challenge is a specialist consulting firm, providing value to clients through its global network of affiliates who bring deep domain expertise in information technology, computer communications, semiconductors, computer hardware, life sciences, and technology for financial services. The unique expertise of affiliates can be brought immediately to bear on a client’s needs.

The Managing Partner of Pacific Challenge is Dr. J Craig Mudge, who brings his years of international experience both in technology companies and world-class research centres to his work

“Over a period of many years as the technology industry has "grown up," Craig has consistently exhibited an unusual ability to recognize and articulate important trends and opportunities before many others.”
