Chris Ward
@chrisward1
I optimize operations, customer experience, and teams to grow sales, revenue, and profit.
What I'm looking for
I founded and lead Champions Way Fitness & Sports Training, an in-home and mobile fitness, wellness, recovery, and human-performance enterprise. I direct strategy, business development, operations, customer acquisition, partnerships, service delivery, and revenue generation while maintaining a 5.0 Google rating across 35 verified five-star reviews.
I've improved hotel occupancy by 25% at Extended Stay America and increased weekly retail sales by 25% at Family Dollar through operational leadership, service improvement, merchandising, accountability, and commercial execution. My experience spans property operations, national account management, CRM-based pipeline development, RFPs, proposals, negotiation, and customer relationships.
Across hospitality, retail, commercial services, and collegiate athletics, I align people, workflows, and performance systems around measurable priorities. I've also developed 60+ All-Americans and multiple National Champions through recruiting, coaching, individualized development, and accountability systems.
