Chris F.

Fractional CMO | Revenue Growth Strategist for B2B Founders

I partner with founders to fix inconsistent revenue through strategic Google and Meta ads, sales funnel optimization, and full go-to-market systems. With 20+ years as a CMO/CSO and two successful exits, I quickly identify leaks, rebuild processes, and deliver measurable growth in 60–90 day engagements. Based in Silicon Valley, I bring 20+ years of hands-on sales and marketing leadership as a strategist. I've generated over $400M in combined client revenue, and doubled revenues for multiple organizations across SaaS, healthcare, enterprise tech, ecommerce, and services. I quickly audit campaigns and funnels, identify hidden leaks, and rebuild them for faster growth. Typical high-impact work includes: Strategic sales funnel audits and complete rebuilds Lead generation systems and consistent inbound pipelines Revenue process optimization, CRM automations, and customer journey design Sales and marketing team hiring, training, and coaching frameworks Investment collateral, pitch decks, and support for raising capital Campaign optimization (Google Ads, Meta, email, and more) AI implementation for speed and faster conversions I prefer focused 60–90 day engagements where we deliver measurable results quickly and hand off optimized, running systems so you can focus on leading the business.
