Introduction
Chris Hamby is the CEO and Founder of The Nexus Agency, with over 25 years of coaching and strategic advisory experience assisting such billion dollar
companies as Disney, Knight-Ridder,
Pizza Hut and Cars.com. He has 17 years of successful executive management experience.
Having worked with hundreds
of technology company executives and entrepeneurs globally across several continents has given him a truly global perspective.
His core competency is in creating and
developing go-to-market strategies.
He has functioned as an advisor to
executives and boards globally by
quickly and accurately discerning the
probability and likelihood of marketplace success. There are many great
products with no clear or realistic path
to market – the #1 cause for marketplace failure. This is where
Chris’ expertise lies – in discerning not
only the probability of success but
also in creating and implementing a
go-to-market strategy that works! And he has the track record to prove it!
Strategy is Key to Successful Business
“In an age of endless coaching services, it is getting more difficult to know who to choose. In his famous writing, The Art of War, Sun Zu wrote “Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory, tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.”
There is a lot of noise in the marketplace today; a lot of empty promises and disapointment. I see it all the time, and I cannot count the number of times I have been called after business leaders and owners have spent enormous amounts of money with no results. The strategic tactics make all the difference in the world.
What I find most often, is that companies have not kept their vision current with the market conditions and evolving technology. It was McArthur who said that going into war without a strategy was foolish, but sticking to that strategy in the middle of war was even more foolish! You have to adjust the strategy as you engage in the marketplace. The strategy is a fluid plan. That is the experience I bring to the table. There is a delicate balance needed here, and that is my specialty.”

Nexus did a great job coming up with a marketing strategy for our startup. They quickly learned our business and the challenges we were facing. I was impressed not just by the level of their commitment, but also by their ability to simplify technical concepts.
