About Chris Aker
I’ve spent my career building and scaling companies from Series B through IPO and into the Fortune 500. My work centers on creating clarity, aligning people and strategy, and driving consistent, measurable growth. I believe great companies are built through disciplined execution, data-driven decision-making, and teams that are empowered to win together.At Eventbrite, I built and scaled the global sales organization from $20M to $250M+ and helped lead the company through its IPO. At Compass, I scaled revenue from $350M to $6.4B, built a 200+ person sales organization, and launched the Agent Graph, a data-driven prospecting engine that doubled conversion rates and accelerated Compass’s path to IPO and Fortune 500 scale. Today at Kitman Labs, I’ve transformed the business into a true enterprise platform company, driving 100%+ sales growth, increasing retention, and establishing the Defense vertical through a $100M IDIQ contract and strategic partnership with Palantir.I take pride in building teams that outperform expectations. My approach is simple: hire exceptional people, set a high bar, and create an environment where learning, accountability, and ambition drive success. I believe the best leaders grow other leaders — and the best results come from teams that care deeply about the mission and each other.
