About Chris Helms

I am an enterprise sales leader and individual contributor with experience operating across early-stage, high-growth environments and scaled, public-company sales organizations. I specialize in building revenue motions that consistently exceed quotas, while also executing with discipline inside established go-to-market frameworks.I have a proven track record of launching new territories, creating and managing opportunity pipelines from scratch, and closing complex enterprise deals involving multi-threaded buying committees and executive stakeholders. My work has included securing net new customers, expanding within existing client accounts, growing into new states and territories, and helping teams understand what the market is telling them. Turning that insight into repeatable sales actions and consistent growth. I bring a builder’s mindset with an operator’s discipline. I am disciplined and take a process-driven approach to selling while staying relentlessly focused on solving customers’ most critical challenges. I aim to add value in every interaction, align solutions to measurable business outcomes, and build long-term, trust-based relationships grounded in integrity, accountability, and transparency.I thrive in environments where expectations are high, change is constant, and performance is measured. Whether partnering with product and marketing at a fast-moving startup or navigating procurement, legal, and governance at a public company, I operate with resilience, clarity, and a relentless focus on execution and accountability.
