Chris’s path sits at the intersection of infrastructure, investing, and engineering, shaped by a career focused on solving complex problems with real-world impact. He brings a hands-on, ownership mindset to building durable businesses, guided by a belief that servant leadership is fundamental to strong culture and sustained performance.
Before stepping into operations at O&W Heat Treat, Chris worked as a consultant at Bain & Company, advising clients across healthcare, technology, and industrial sectors on strategy and transformation. Prior to Bain, he led an investor-backed search fund focused on infrastructure-related services, where he built a proprietary sourcing engine, led diligence across dozens of acquisition targets, and partnered closely with investors and advisors.
