Background and qualifications
Chris is a former CEO who led an entrepreneurial company as Visionary and Integrator. His company implemented EOS. Before that, meetings were unproductive, priorities competed, problems kept returning, and too much of the business depended on him. After EOS, the company had a shared vision, real accountability, and a more aligned leadership team. That experience led him to become a Professional EOS Implementer. He now guides other owners and leadership teams through the same process.
