Chris Laping - Founder - People Before Things

Why me?

During my C-level career, colleagues said my unique, unduplicated role was developing people & teams. So, I quit my “day job” to expand my focus!

I wrote my first book, People Before Things, and it quickly became a bestseller. It wasn’t because of my writing flex! Rather, it struck a chord with leaders struggling to build buy-in with their peers and end-users.

I’ve already helped 300,000+ people worldwide. Here are my career highlights:

→ 4-time CIO
→ Former tech CEO
→ 3 InfoWorld 100 awards
→ ComputerWorld Premier 100 IT Leader
→ The Economist’s Top 5 Social Business Leader
→ InformationWeek’s Social Business Technology Leader

  • "Working with Chris gave me a chance to talk through challenges with someone who’s faced them, and have a partner not blow smoke about my short comings."
