About
Chris Ward
I am a 20 year veteran of Fortune 500 management and leadership roles in marketing and sales, serving as Chief Marketing Officer for a $1.5B division of General Electric. Most recently, I built the commercial infrastructure for a privately funded medical device start-up, setting it up for a currently pending public market offering. Across my corporate career, what always gave me the most joy was developing people on our way to growing and expanding our business.
Today, I am excited to be combining my business management acumen, my growth instinct and my team-first approach to acquire and grow an established small business. I am fascinated with the talent, dedication and inventiveness of small business owners!
Side hobbies include coaching ice hockey, photography, cycling and overreaching on DIY projects.
Thanks for reading. If you have an established business generally fitting the outline above, let’s talk.
