Experience

Before Benchmark International, Christopher worked as a financial services executive in San Francisco where he led 150 employees across six retail branches. He also ran a small family business, including managing payroll, sales, operations, and the day-to-day activities of a small business. As a financial executive, Christopher helped hundreds of business owners. He helped them raise capital, grow their businesses, and in many cases, helped them transition through an exit. He saw many business owners reach the exit point where they were excited and fulfilled. However, he also saw several owners reach that same exit-point feeling disappointed and overall exhausted from the process. Christopher wants to help owners reach a satisfying exit so that they may enjoy the results of all their hard work. His strengths at work are that my combination of financial background and small business ownership allows me to provide a unique perspective to business owners.

Passion

Christopher is passionate about learning about businesses and helping their owners grow and achieve their goals. As a business owner himself, he not only understands and empathizes with his clients’ struggles, but also celebrates in their victories. Christopher is passionate about family and fatherhood. He enjoy helping small business owners. To him – it’s not work – it’s fun.
