Our Founders: Leaders in Association Growth

In 2001, we left corporate consulting to focus on something more impactful: helping membership organizations that drive meaningful change and shape our communities. At Sequence, we’re deeply committed to the association sector. We believe in the power of associations to create lasting impact, and our work is dedicated exclusively to helping membership organizations succeed.

With deep expertise in membership strategy, marketing, and digital transformation, he now helps associations increase revenue, attract and retain members, and create lasting impact.

Chris has led major strategic initiatives for organizations like Microsoft, Novell, and American Airlines, driving innovation and market expansion. At Sequence Consulting, he applies that same data-driven, results-focused approach to helping associations modernize membership models, optimize engagement strategies, and build sustainable revenue streams.

His ability to combine strategic insight with hands-on execution makes him a trusted advisor to some of the world’s leading associations, ensuring they thrive in a rapidly changing landscape.
