Chris spent the first part of his career in the data center and cloud computing industry. He was actively engaged in building, selling, recommending, and doing site selection for dozens of data centers across the world, as both a data center owner and a data center buyer. Chris helped launch a startup data center that was eventually sold as part of a nationwide roll-up strategy and resulted in a successful exit for all investors.
He then transitioned into a worldwide strategy role at a Fortune 500 company helping them navigate the global data center landscape. After transitioning out of that role, he has engaged with Black Crest to help build the business into a strong, customer focused financial firm that values relationships over all else. His management and business experience has proven to be a valuable asset at Black Crest and the financial industry.
