Chris is a U.S. military veteran turned entrepreneur and leadership coach who’s made a career out of turning strong companies into unstoppable ones — fast.
He’s been ranked #9 on Inc. Magazine’s Top 50 Leadership & Management Experts, ahead of names like Simon Sinek. And he’s walked the talk: scaling and selling an energy-efficiency business at an 8x multiple during the Great Recession, while competitors were shutting down.
Today, he’s coached 100+ leadership teams through EOS, with clients achieving 90%+ employee engagement and over 100 “Best Places to Work” awards — numbers that speak for themselves. He’s also building a $5M AI-driven EOS platform, blending data and leadership in ways that are already turning heads.
