Speaker and author, Chris Clews

A graduate of Elon University, he has over 20 years of marketing experience including executive roles in both the corporate world and with ad agencies. During his marketing career, he’s built brands, led brands through transition and spearheaded sports sponsorships with NCAA Basketball, PGA, MLB, International Soccer and the UFC. He’s an 80s pop culture enthusiast and lives by the quote from the poet laureate Ferris Bueller, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop to look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

In his spare time he enjoys staying physically active through a variety of endeavors and has a large collection of hot sauces – more for the clever names than for use in any type of actual cooking.  He also comes from a family that is passionate about animal welfare thanks to his amazing grandmother who took in every animal that needed a home. And lucky for him his childhood home was a magnet for every stray animal in the neighborhood! He also donates a portion of the proceeds from his book and speaking engagements to the SPCA International.
