ABOUT THE WRITER
Who writes Growth Operator?
I’m Chris Piper — operator, CMO, and consigliere for founder-led brands.
Over the last 20 years, I’ve led rebrands, guided mergers, scaled SaaS and media businesses, and taken startups from “everything’s on fire” to disciplined, sustainable growth.
I’ve helped founders build legacy brands, create cultures that last, and turn shaky operations into engines of growth.
Now, I work with founders and executives as a consigliere, helping them:
- Set clear goals — and actually hit them.
- Build systems that scale — without burning out the team.
- Lead with discipline — instead of ego.
- Stay sane — while everything around them feels on fire.
If you’re building something that matters and want an honest operator in your corner, I’d love to hear from you.
