In this role he successfully delivered multiple projects simultaneously leading a team of 4 operating across the globe with successful rollouts in the United States, Western Europe and Australia. Finding a passion for consultative selling, Chris moved into a revenue-generation role as an individual contributor, ultimately working his way up to the head of revenue for Operative through their successful acquisition by Francisco Partners (via SintecMedia) and led the team through 5 years of growth and multiple acquisitions of both competitive and complimentary technology.

Chris remains very active in the media/advertising community both as a mentor and a leader. His passion in the space lies in working with early-to-mid-stage technology companies helping them drive revenue, innovate products, scale operations and implement improvements to their business processes to drive profitability.
