Founder of multiple companies across financial technology and telecommunications, with a successful exit to a NYSE-listed parent. Currently leading Spectra Capital — an alternative investment manager focused on commercial debt opportunities underserved by traditional lenders.
Chris began his career as a programmer — writing C++ at BellSouth, building telephony stacks, administering systems. He doesn't write production code anymore, but the way of thinking has never left.
That foundation has shaped six ventures across alternative investments, telephony, and crypto. The throughline is not industry but instinct: a preference for problems where the constraint is real, a bias toward measurable systems, and a conviction that durable competitive edges are built — through software, process, and discipline — rather than purchased.
As Founder & CEO of Spectra Capital, he leads a team applying that operating doctrine to commercial debt — building proprietary technology that lets the firm find, underwrite, and close on opportunities the traditional lending market overlooks.
