As a consultant, Chris has helped numerous clients establish and scale their ISO, improve operational efficiency, reduce costs via automation, manage their vendor relationships, and maximize profitability.
Chris also works with a variety of private equity firms looking to explore and understand investment opportunities in the payments space. He’s a recognized expert, and go-to consultant for firms such as GLG, GuidePoint, AlphaSites, Ridgetop and more.
Chris is an ETA Certified Payments Professional, holds a Bachelor's degree in Communications (Sales, Marketing, Advertising, PR), and an MBA.

Chris is a great asset to have in this industry, rarely do you find someone that understands the industry, puts the pieces together on strategy, and is able to assist you in executing your goals. As a Strategic Partner to what our company is trying to achieve most people get confused on our "technology" goals and Chris stepped in and assisted us the whole way. Never once did he say we cant do that or that cant happen he works with us on creating a solution. Chris is one of the very few handful of guys in this industry I know iI can call and if I have a problem he will pick up the phone, call me back and hustle as hard as I would to get the resolution.
