Background
I've been very fortunate to get to wear a lot of hats over the years. I've gone from various entry level sales positions to buying, growing, and selling a company. I've been an American diplomat overseas. I've worked with hundreds of salespeople and sales leaders across multiple continents helping them level up their skills and get their organizations and strategies in alignment with their goals and values.
More important than any of that, I am blessed to be the husband to an amazing partner, and father to two incredible kids. In my off time, I can usually be found outside on a trail with a camera, or hovering over a coffee writing about technology.

How Chris works
Warm, considerate, and results-oriented. Chris is a driver who holds people accountable in a nurturing way to get the best out of them and the sales org. Engagements are hands-on: he works directly with your team on sales leadership, assessments, and hiring, rather than handing over a report and leaving.
