About Chris
I go inside scaling companies (50–300 people) and hands-on fix the growth bottlenecks leadership can sense but can't locate. Not from the outside, I sit with your teams, work cross-functionally across sales, marketing, and ops, find where growth is stuck, then fix it, in 90 days. Before StrategicRX, I helped scale Europe's first EdTech unicorn across 20+ markets. I've improved gross margins from 31% to 45% and doubled lead-to-close conversion in a single project engagement. I build systems that run without me.
