Executive Profile:
Chris is a passionate leader and entrepreneur. His career started early, founding his first business during his sophomore year of college. Since that time, he has continued his growth in business, community and family. As a proud Baltimore resident, Chris has focused his growth in his city and hopes to lead change and revitalization in his hometown.

Today, Chris spends the majority of his time leading and cultivating the culture of Think|Stack.  Think|Stack is the only human centered technology services firm in the world. They lead FIs through digital transformations; designing, building and maintaining their infrastructure and cyber security platforms.

When he is not at Think|Stack he can be found serving on the Maryland Governors Workforce Development Board as the Chairman of the Cyber and IT Taskforce. His work there helps to create policy to develop the future workforce for tomorrows jobs. His passion for workforce development has led to a partnership with YearUp Baltimore, a technology internship training program that serves underprivileged youth in Baltimore.

For fun, Chris started Sachse Ventures, which supports Baltimore startups. This provides Chris with a creative outlet for his entrepreneurial spirit and also helps to cultivate successful startups in his home town. Through Sachse Ventures, Chris is a mentor, investor and board member for a variety of startups.

During his career Chris had the pleasure of graduating with his BA in business management and MA in Leadership from Notre Dame of Maryland University. He also completed the CUES Executive Innovation Program at Stanford and MIT.

Along his journey, Chris has been supported by his wonderful and growing family. His wife, Jordan, daughters Maguire and Emerson and son Connor, make it all worth it. Chris works hard to find balance, spending as much time as he can with his family.
