Leadership Philosophy
"Less is more – in strategy, in execution, in everything."
Great products emerge from clarity, not complexity. I believe in building high-performing teams through trust,
empowerment, and strategic focus. My approach centers on identifying what truly matters, eliminating noise,
and creating sustainable competitive advantages through thoughtful product leadership. Whether scaling from
startup to growth stage or transforming established organizations, I focus on building the right culture
and systems to deliver exceptional results.

What Leaders Say
Testimonials from executives, peers, and team members
"Chris has changed the way we think about product development and our customer. He is smart and articulate. He is passionate about promoting ideas and philosophies he values, yet flexible in his approach about what an organization can absorb at any given moment. Working with Chris, as a consultant, has been one of the best experiences of my career."
"Chris and his team provide a holistic approach to their work. Unlike other outside engagements we have had,
Chris focused on upstream, downstream, cross-departmental, 'the customer' and other strategic effects of changes
that we were making. This proved to be a critical step to improved company-wide communication and buy-in to a well executed and successful migration for us."
"Chris came to Riot Games for an extensive 1 year plus engagement and added tremendous value. His strength in the craft of Product Management, Strategy, Customer Discovery practices helped elevate our product owners and Chris was instrumental in further refining the League of Legends work system to achieve greater alignment and autonomy."
"Chris brought more than two decades of experience to the role, allowing him to combine strategic vision with hands-on execution, driving measurable business results. Chris led his group with clarity and purpose, and was a champion for bringing together product, insurance, and marketing to develop meaningful solutions. His leadership style fosters true collaboration, empowering cross-functional teams to innovate while keeping focus on solving real problems that matter."
"Chris is simply one of the most well rounded and skilled product executives I've had the pleasure of working with. He is maniacal when it comes to usability and customer satisfaction. Chris was very credible when presenting to analysts and by extension we built significant credibility with them. Most of all, Chris was all about increasing velocity to deliver products customers wanted."
"Chris is that rare executive who pairs deep technical and market insight with exceptional people leadership.
He didn't just delegate, he empowered. He gave me and other leaders true ownership over our domains, backed by unwavering trust.
Any organization needing a Chief Product Officer who drives results and builds resilient teams would be smart to hire him."
