About Chris
Hi, I’m Chris. I'm a Data Analytics & AI Sales Specialist at Google Cloud, where I partner with the world's largest gaming and entertainment brands to design custom AI agents and orchestrate massive data migrations. My path to deep-tech sales, however, began in a completely different arena: Human Resources and Talent Acquisition. Early in my career, my daily focus was on evaluating talent, coaching candidates, and understanding what makes people and organizations click. This human-first background became my secret weapon when I transitioned into enterprise technology. Today, I use that unique combination—deep technical expertise and an HR-grounded understanding of human dynamics—to help professionals master technical storytelling, navigate complex organizational structures, and stand out in competitive fields."
Why do I coach?
I coach because I know firsthand that your background doesn't dictate your destination. Making the pivot from HR to enterprise AI sales taught me how to identify transferable strengths, tell a compelling professional story, and build confidence in spaces where you might look like an outsider. The mentors and coaches who supported me during my own career transition were instrumental to my success, and I want to pay that forward. My goal is to help you unlock your unique professional narrative, build a bulletproof executive presence, and navigate your own non-traditional career acceleration."
