Chris Skaggs

As the chief revenue officer, Chris leads the brand, marketing, sales, and talent acquisition teams. Chris leverages knowledge of the roles both sales and marketing play in driving growth and has ultimate accountability in aligning all revenue-generating departments. His cross-functional expertise ensures that no department in his organization works in silos, creates alignment to ensure higher profitability, and uses data to make informed decisions. Together with other members of the executive team, Chris executes the current corporate strategic plan, focusing on expansion and growth.

Early in his career, Chris learned the power and importance of storytelling and relationships. Starting with TSP in 2006, Chris spent his first ten years in people operations — building and growing every aspect of HR and talent acquisition. He then took his knack for connection and communication and moved into brand, marketing, and sales enablement. An accomplished growth leader, Chris has a proven track record of building teams, processes, strategies, and systems from the ground up. Chris received a Bachelor of Arts in Human Ecology from the University of Texas at Austin, where he was also an active member of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. Chris also received his master’s certificate in Human Resource Management from Villanova University.

Chris is passionate about giving back to his community — primarily as the cofounder of Leighton’s Gift, a 501(c)(3) public charity with a mission to turn a tragedy into something positive by providing NICU families comfort, connection, and peace. Chris has also served as a chair, vice chair, ambassador, board member, and committee member for a variety of different nonprofits. Outside of work, Chris loves spending time with his family — usually at a rock climbing or cheer event. He enjoys health and fitness, a good bourbon, strong coffee, and watching his Longhorns in any sporting event — especially college football (Hook ‘Em).
