About Christopher Simard

I’ve spent more than 20 years building and leading sales organizations, but what matters most is this: I build teams that execute. I’ve led transformations across multiple industries, turning sales groups into accountable, high-performing teams that drive real outcomes, not just activity. The focus has always been simple. Get the right people in place. Solve real problems. Deliver results clients can count on. Today, as VP of Sales at HyperSolutions, I’m focused on hyperscale and AI data center clients where execution is everything. This is a space where failure isn’t an option. What we deliver, switchboards, STS, PDUs, RPPs, Modules, and skids, sits at the core of the infrastructure powering AI and next-generation data centers. What separates us isn’t just what we build. It’s how we deliver. We move fast. We stay transparent. We hold a high bar on quality and accountability. And we do it at scale. At the center of it all is trust. Trust at scale. Trust is earned by doing what you say you’re going to do. By showing up when it matters. By delivering when timelines are tight and expectations are high. That’s how we build long-term partnerships. That’s how we win. If you’re operating in the hyperscale or AI data center space and care about execution, I’m always open to connecting.Key Past Achievements Include: Introduced consultative sales methodology, built a channel, and established how to use the CRM system and implemented a cadence between the Sales motions and Finance, generating a 45% sales growth within existing segments Recognized for performance and recruited to lead the transformational journey of the startup organization, overseeing all aspects of commercial operations spanning Sales, Marketing, and Customer Experience, introducing an aggressive sales campaign that secured a 50% growth in revenue QoQ, and placed the organization for solid cash flow in 2022 Established a customer experience team to resolve post-sales customer service issues, leading negotiations that collected over $1M in past-due payments and significantly increased customer satisfaction Responsible for leading a team of 95 Sales Executives and 5 Area Sales Managers throughout 13 western states and maintaining a $700M P&L, facilitating initiatives to drive sales and market growth among power, infrastructure, and energy products, delivering a market increase of 130 basis points between 2012 and 2014 and achieving revenue goals for 2012 and 2013Contact me through this profile if you wish to connect.
