Chris brings the rare perspective of someone who's been in the founder's chair multiple times—and successfully navigated the emotional and financial complexities of selling businesses. Having personally completed three exits, including the $100MM sale of Durante Rentals to a private equity fund and the strategic sale of software to Microsoft, Chris understands exactly what founders face when contemplating the sale of their life's work.
As a Harvard-trained mediator and three-time CFO of the Year, Chris specializes in resolving the disputes and emotional tensions that can derail even promising deals. His 30+ years as an entrepreneur, investor, and consultant give him unique insight into both sides of the transaction table.
Chris was a competitive wrestler and Judoka. He was a training partner for the USA Olympic Judo Team and the Barbados Judo Team, where he helped the team prep for the Commonwealth Games. He brings an athlete's discipline and grit, along with teamwork and high-level performance, to every company he’s founded or worked with.
At Ludlow Capital, Chris helps founders prepare not just financially for their exit, but emotionally—ensuring they're ready to let go of the reins while protecting what matters most to them.
