Chris C McEvoy

Current City: Carmel, IN

After my fifth year of working in corporate America, it was time to move on. I started my own company and over a period of 17 years grew it to 350 employees with a worldwide marketing footprint. Financing came through an SBA guaranteed loan, an angel investment, and a venture capital invesment. Sold the Company to an international financial firm as part of its strategic initiative. I have started four companies; some were great successes and others were failures. I play off of these experiences, and suggest to people that I got grey so they won't have to.
