Chris is an exceptional leader and one of the most outstanding professionals I ever had the opportunity to work with. His ability to quickly grasp complex business situations and translate them into clear, structured measures, his sound way of presenting and explaining and his strong, strategic thinking made him and his team a key factor for success of the global sales organization. 

Nikolaus Menches

Senior VP of Sales

Chris brings to life every facet of an organization, from his ability to create, develop and lead a global organization from the ground up. He combines the trifecta of high level leadership and care, scrum master level strategic planning and execution, and next level stakeholder engagement. Whether creating an org from scratch, or leading an already successful team, Chris will exceed every bench mark in front of him. I’ve been around the block at every level of the corporate space and I can truly say - the strategy conversations with Chris were unmatched.

David Hamilton

CEO, Senior Managing Partner

Chris joined as a strategic advisor, absorbed context at speed, and led a pricing overhaul that improved margins and conversion while keeping our premium positioning intact. What sets Chris apart is that he’s not the kind of advisor who just drops a deck and leaves: he’s hands-on and on-ground; building the model, sitting with reps, rewriting copy, joining tough calls, and staying through rollout and iteration until it sticks. Sharp, pragmatic, and fully committed end to end; I’d partner with Chris again on any revenue-critical project.
