About

I work with business leaders and investors to develop breakaway growth and innovation strategies that deliver high-return outcomes.

Over the last 15 years, I have achieved this by developing and introducing new business models and technologies to new marketplaces, occasionally creating the ecosystem in the process. My clients include 30 Global 1000 companies, 60+ startup companies, three national governments and several widely known foundations.

My current focus is on business ventures that take advantage of the acceleration in the design/build/delivery cycle combined with technology convergence around power/bandwidth/miniaturization. I also continue to work with companies where I have board positions, advising them on business and technology strategies.

I'm always open to discussing new ventures or opportunities. Feel free to contact me at chris [at] chrismaresca [dot] com or via one of the social networks I am on:

For my background, have a look at my current and past clients, my client quotes or more information about me.
