Chris Skaggs
Professional biography
I’m a growth and go-to-market executive with two decades of experience helping organizations align brand, marketing, communications, talent, and revenue strategies into scalable growth engines.
My career began in recruiting, but over time I found myself increasingly drawn to the broader challenge of growth: how organizations build trust, communicate value, engage audiences, and create alignment across teams. What started as a focus on talent acquisition evolved into leadership roles spanning brand strategy, marketing, communications, customer engagement, sales enablement, and executive leadership.
Today, I serve as Chief Revenue Officer at TSP, where I help lead growth initiatives across sales, marketing, customer success, and talent acquisition. Along the way, I’ve had the opportunity to build and lead our first formal brand, marketing, and communications function, develop integrated go-to-market and enablement strategies, and contribute to significant business growth, including helping drive 57% growth in total pipeline and 103% growth in new opportunity pipeline.
While my title reflects revenue leadership, my passion sits at the intersection of growth strategy, storytelling, brand positioning, and go-to-market execution. I’m fascinated by the ways organizations connect with people, whether customers, employees, partners, or communities, and how those connections can create lasting momentum.
My leadership philosophy is simple: momentum happens when people, strategy, and story come together. I believe the strongest organizations are built through alignment, where brand shapes perception, marketing creates engagement, sales delivers value, and teams rally around a shared vision. Much of my work has focused on helping organizations translate complex ideas into clear, meaningful experiences that build trust and support sustainable growth.
Areas where I spend most of my time and energy include:
Brand strategy and development
Go-to-market strategy and sales enablement
Integrated marketing and communications
Thought leadership and content strategy
Audience engagement and growth
Executive communications
Organizational alignment and culture
Outside of my professional career, I’m the co-founder of Leighton’s Gift, a nonprofit organization created in memory of my daughter. Through fundraising, advocacy, storytelling, and community engagement, we’ve raised more than $500,000 to support NICU families and improve neonatal care experiences. I have also served on a variety of nonprofit boards and committees, including the Texas Health Resources Foundation, the Texas Health Resources Community Impact, the March of Dimes, and North Texas Christian Academy. My nonprofit work has reinforced my belief that stories have the power to bring people together, inspire action, and create meaningful change.
Whether I’m helping organizations grow, building brands, developing teams, or supporting causes that matter, I’m driven by a simple goal: creating meaningful connections that lead to lasting impact.
