ABOUT CHRIS RABOURN

I am an innovative product and strategy executive with a record of leading high-performing global organizations and heading end-to-end development of high-use, high-revenue SaaS products. A problem solver at heart, I amplify success by working across the organization to strategize the best path forward to eliminate future issues, make processes as efficient as possible, and drive change at scale.I am the calm in the storm. Known for my ability to create structure and organization among chaos, senior leaders turn to me as an impactful partner who brings a balanced, rational perspective to make difficult decisions and solve critical problems. Relationship building is key to success in highly matrixed organizations. I forge strong partnerships to integrate best practices, align operations with client needs, and drive continuous improvements that unlock potential for rapid growth.Most recently, I led the Program Management Office as VP at PayPal. I was instrumental in redefining the Program Management practice, transforming the organization into a holistic, customer-focused strategic engine. My work strategizing and defining the first Product Development Lifecycle was critical for enabling scalable growth.Mentoring future leaders is a point of pride for me. I eagerly connect with staff at all levels to provide support and guidance that helps them progress and reach new heights. As a former Air Force Captain, I deeply understand the value and power of teamwork. With a people-first approach, I build, coach, and lead geographically dispersed cross-functional teams while bringing groups together to achieve collective goals.
