Chuck is the Founder and CEO of Strategic Advisory Forum. He is driven by a deep sense of honesty, integrity, and a love for teaching others. He strongly believes the experience of building and selling a business should be highly relational not just transactional. Chuck has built and sold 2 of his own companies, from scratch. He understands the challenges and complexity of building companies and preparing them to go to market. Most companies interested in selling are not ready to be sold, making it imperative that Strategic Advisory Forum work alongside the business owner to grow and build prior to entering the market.
