Advancing the mindset that
CULTURE IS BUSINESS
Chris Kane guides executives, leadership teams and boards through the rocky corporate terrain of rapid, sustainable growth, operational excellence, healthy cultural development, and high-stakes strategic planning.
Said simply, Chris partners with executives, boards and private equity investors to plan and drive transformational changes. These changes result in best-in-class operational organizations and, ultimately, extraordinary returns for all stakeholders.
And, an important thing to know about Chris is that he has range, extraordinary range. From his first job packing medical supplies in a warehouse to a biomedical laboratory, to NOLS wilderness training, to outdoor retail to healthcare marketing. From senior director of marketing, to COO, to CEO of a fast-growing medical services company. Then, as the new CEO of West Derm, transforming the company from a <$5 million> operating cashflow deficit to an exit valuation of $300 million in six short years, all while building an extraordinary team and healthy company culture. Most recently, Chris has been making an impact as an executive coach, board member, YPO moderator, and private equity consultant.
Quite a journey from warehouse worker to C-suite whisperer.
Everywhere Chris has been, the people around him have recognized his leadership ability, heeded his advice, and appreciated his deep empathy. When he speaks, companies listen. Not just because he provides a unique perspective and valuable insights, but because they know Chris cares.
