Stat Legend

As Co-Founder and CEO of Stat Legend, Chris is dedicated to making sports moments timeless for youth athletes through customized memorabilia.

Starting in 2023, Chris launched Stat Legend out of a passion for making youth sports more fun. Operating from a homemade basement office with his co-founder, Nick, he has grown the company from concept to delivering its first batch of personalized cards.

With a background in digital products and a lifelong love of sports, Chris spearheads Stat Legend's product development, recently releasing an innovative online card customization tool (CardJam!). He is also responsible for strategic planning, operations and connecting with potential customers and partners.

When not growing the business, Chris loves cheering on his sons at games and thinking of ways to commemorate milestones through unique keepsakes. Witnessing the joy a customized card brought his family strengthened his mission to spread more of that magic.

As Stat Legend enters its initial stages, Chris remains dedicated to continuous learning as an entrepreneur. He is focused on nurturing key partnerships, gathering customer feedback and prudently scaling offerings to best serve more communities.

Chris welcomes connecting with like-minded founders, sports enthusiasts and anyone interested in Stat Legend's vision of creating cherished memories through personalized cards. He looks forward to witnessing the company's positive impact as it helps families treasure moments that last forever.

Making insurtech things happen

As an entrepreneur with a background in technology, I founded Stat Legend, a youth sports company creating custom trading cards to showcase athlete photos and stats. Previously, I founded and sold an insurtech startup utilizing AI for insurance analytics (called RiskGenius). Now, I apply my experience scaling startups to help Stat Legend bring the joy of personalized memorabilia to youth sports families. Beyond building the business, I enjoy supporting my sons' athletic pursuits and exploring ways to make youth sports a more cherished experience for all through customized commemorations of achievements both on and off the field.

The SAVO Group

The SAVO Group is the pioneer in sales enablement. SAVO’s solutions help companies of all sizes, from Mid-Market to Fortune 50, achieve their revenue initiatives by harnessing the resources and knowledge of the entire company to support the selling process. By opening lines of communication across a company and connecting sellers with sales materials, tools and subject matter expertise, SAVO helps companies drive sales execution. Ultimately, SAVO’s technology and consulting services help organization’s bridge the “growth gap” between strategic revenue initiatives and actual results in the field typically left to CRM and Marketing Automation to solve.
 
I worked with executive leadership in Sales, Marketing, and Operations to drive revenue initiatives by enabling sellers to have access to the right people, processes, information, and technology during a sales cycle on their device of choice. This leads to a more valuable interaction between sellers and their customers and can produce a wide array of outcomes for a sales organization including reduced sales cycle times, higher quota attainment, reduced new-hire ramp time, and greater success on corporate initiatives. Some of these corporate initiatives include launching a new sales process to the field, launching new products, cross/up sell initiatives, entering a new marketplace, M&A activity, and many more.  At the end of the day- in order for these initiatives to succeed, your sellers need to succeed - so I helped my customers "Challenge" business as usual so that they could leverage SAVO to realize that transformation into a being a SalesFirst company that enabled their sellers to be Efficient, Effective and Engaging!  This was the first step in becoming a SalesFirst company?
