Chris has been instrumental in building CloudControlMedia’s agency business in EDU, consumer, home services, and a growing vertical footprint. In the late 1990s, Chris’s experience included online marketing and development in NYC’s Silicon Alley as a Senior Internet Producer directing large teams and multi-million dollar build-outs for dot com venture funds, Financial, Arthur Anderson, Sterling Optical, and Planethollywood.com. In the early 2000s, as President, Chris led education publishing company NextStepU.com from a nationwide publication for traditional collegiate marketing, to a digital content and inquiry provider for colleges nationwide throughout the country. Over the next 10 years, his team pioneered and architected the world’s most advanced digital intake, reporting, and optimization system, which influenced the tech that currently powers all CCMP’s systems.
