I help companies grow their reputation and revenue with a deep science-based understanding of what makes people tick. I work at the intersection of thought leadership, consumer insights, socio-demographic trends, and marketing strategy. My research experience spans qual and quant, custom and syndicated, B2B and B2C. Additional areas of expertise include digital trends, audience measurement, affluence/luxury, generational marketing, and data-driven decision making. I teach at USF, and hold a Ph.D. in social psychology from Harvard University.

Chris was the co-founder of ESO and has been with the company since its 2004 inception, first as Vice President of Marketing and Sales and now as President and CEO, a position he has held since 2009. He brought 13 years of EMS experience and a solid business background to ESO, having served in roles ranging from EMS manager to founder of a real estate company that bought, sold and managed properties. Chris designed the first several versions of the ESO ePCR software, and his vision continues to be the driving force behind the development of new products to meet the changing demands of the healthcare market.

I have a passion for driving growth. Over the past 25 years, I have built a track record of success leading strategic planning, marketing, portfolio planning and execution for early-stage and Fortune 200 organizations. This includes being the CEO of a high-growth FinTech SaaS business, rebuilding the product portfolio of a $250M payments business, reinventing the market strategy and positioning of a $1.5 billion dollar HCM business, leading the go-to-market planning and scaling of cloud-based (SaaS) service lines, and driving numerous business development and acquisition activities that expanded capabilities in core and adjacent markets. My professional success is built upon a simple personal philosophy -- work hard, treat people well and be an aggressive agent for change. I have passionately employed this philosophy while mobilizing leaders and teams to drive growth and execution.
