Chris has more than 20 years of experience helping healthcare and technology companies take products from early innovation through commercialization and growth.
His background spans Fortune 15 healthcare companies, medical-device organizations and high-growth startups. He has led work across strategy, commercialization, product, marketing, operations and revenue operations, including medical devices, nuclear medicine, clinical trial technology and regulated healthcare services.
Chris works with founders and leadership teams when the product is moving but the commercial path is not. That may mean choosing the first buyer, strengthening the value story, designing pricing and packaging, building a pilot-to-paid path, preparing to enter the U.S. market or putting the processes, metrics and team rhythms in place to support growth.
That work often extends into how the business runs. As companies gain traction, Chris helps strengthen planning, improve handoffs between teams and establish clear ownership and measures of progress. The focus is on making the commercial plan work day to day.
Every engagement is led directly by Chris, with specialist partners involved when the work requires them.
Why TGL exists
Strong products still stall when the commercial path is not built.
A strong product does not automatically become a strong business. The market, buyer, value story, pricing, operating model and path to adoption all have to work together.
TGL helps founders and leadership teams handle that middle ground. It is the “now what?” after the idea, the MVP or the first signs of traction.
The work stays close to the business. We help make the decisions, build the plan and work through implementation with your team.
Experience
Built across the full commercial journey.
Large-company scale and startup speed require different operating muscles. Our background includes both.
Healthcare at scale
Experience inside Cardinal Health and medical-device organizations where regulation, evidence and complex buying systems shape every commercial move.
New categories
Built and commercialized offerings in nuclear medicine, regulatory services, clinical trials technology and other regulated healthcare markets.
Founder-led growth
Worked directly with startups on buyer fit, positioning, pricing, market entry, GTM design and the systems needed to support growth.
How we work
Senior help without the consulting theater.
You work directly with us. We ask hard questions, connect the parts of the commercial system and stay involved long enough to turn decisions into action.
Analytical
Start with evidence, customer reality and the economics behind the decision.
Practical
Build work the team can use, not recommendations that sit in a deck.
Accountable
Set priorities, name the tradeoffs and keep the work moving.
The right fit
We do our best work with leaders who are ready to make choices.
TGL is a good fit for mission-aligned founders and leadership teams in healthcare, MedTech, Digital Health, life sciences and other regulated markets.
We are not an outsourced sales team, a marketing agency or a regulatory-submission firm. We build the commercial direction and operating system those functions need to succeed.
Bring the hard commercial question.
We can start with the decision that matters most right now.
