ADVISOR & COACH
I’m the Chief Operating Officer/Co-Founder of StealthEnomics® a member of the Official Forbes Coaches Council, a former Entrepreneur-in-Residence at the Maryland Innovation Center, an award-winning entrepreneur, business launch designer, executive advisor, podcast guest, blogger, and author of 24 Transformation, Resilience, and Performance courses who is passionate about the complex enterprise technology sales profession.

TECHNOLOGY SALES EXCELLENCE
A little more than two decades. That’s the time it’s taken to personally add nearly $1Bn of new software sales & solutions revenues with 5-year cost savings to the bottom line of my former employers and customers in the Fortune 500, Global 1000, academic research institutions, US federal agencies, and public sector entities.
Today I leverage a compilation of ai tools, an evolving knowledge base, and my team to author complex technology sales processes, train sales professionals, and design go-to-market strategies (GTM) that support startup equity funding approval processes, successful mergers & acquisitions, and IPO exits. I was there at the:
$1Bn acquisition of Acquia (SaaS, DXP, AI) Vista Equity Partner Group
$17M acquisition of Indicative Software (BSM) Nimsoft
$80M IPO exit of Informax (genomic software.)
Perhaps, I can “be there” with you.

ENTREPRENEURIAL INSPIRATION
Like millions of people, I was once laid off thru no fault of my own while I was at the “top of my game” (or so I thought.) I was a middle-aged technology professional who had been renting his time, expertise, and education to an employer who judged me to be disposable and my receipt… was a paystub. I had no equity/ownership over anything I produced and while I was afraid, I wasn’t paralyzed by fear.
That’s when I launched Chris Bell 3rd & Company – a global technology sales consulting agency, won the Melinda Emerson $25,000 Entrepreneurs Challenge then profitably shut down and exited the company to focus on StealthEnomics® while intermittently employed with SaaS companies.
SERVING VISIONARIES
In an era of uncertainty and rapid change; where synthetic AI tools are promptly delivering sterile results from our inquiries… I’ve remained committed to maintaining an authentic, inspirational sanctuary at StealthEnomics® where Wisdom can be introduced to the inspired thoughts and challenges of ideation-stage visionaries, working professionals, and the recent unemployed in personal, one-on-one sessions.
Concurrently, I’ll continue to learn, promote, share, and advance the benefits of technology solutions that are congruent with my personal life purpose: to improve the human condition.
