chris gale

vice president sales & marketing

Chris brings 17 years of sales, marketing, business development, and operations experience in the high-tech software and solutions industry. He has successfully contributed to the top-line revenue in both the direct and partner markets for start-up's and established companies. Working with companies such as Sequel, Datachannel, Intelligroup, and Artefact has afforded Chris the opportunity to acquire a broad background in both product and services.

In 2005, Chris was asked by the Board of Directors of the Seattle-based software company, Iomedex, to assist with their re-launch into the highly competitive local, state and federal market. In a two year period, Chris assisted in raising capital, established relationships with over 150 local, state and federal agencies and expanded the company’s product and services offerings. In the years since, he has assisted twelve additional start-ups with business plan creation, fund raising, market opportunity analysis, market requirements documentation and establishing sales methodology. Whether an interim executive for a net-new start-up, a VP of Sales and Delivery with responsibility for raising capital, or as head of business development for a multinational consulting agency where he built a $45M P&L in 3 years, Chris uses his strong operational, sales and marketing skills to drive growth and success.

Chris has had the opportunity to sell and partner with Nike, Symbol, Northrop Grumman, DOD, Homeland Security, Department of Health, Cantor Fitzgerald, Chase Manhattan, McCann-Erickson, Harper Collins Publishing, FEMA, Coors, AT&T, Microsoft, SAP, Lenovo, Dell, Motorola 3Com, McAfee and more.

Chris is a graduate of Western Washington University, a husband and a father (arguably his most important role).
