CHRIS SPAFFORD
As the Founder and President of Frabul, LLC, a professional services firm dedicated to Fractional Business Leadership, I bring over three decades of corporate leadership experience to the table. With a robust background in leading global sales and marketing teams, I have a proven track record of driving success and growth on an international scale. Frabul, LLC was founded with a mission to leverage this extensive expertise to assist smaller companies in building robust business development infrastructures.
My role is centered on providing strategic guidance to private businesses, many of which are in various stages of planning for exit or transition. With a broad understanding of the intricacies involved in both buy and sell-side transactions, I offer a comprehensive approach to exit planning. My certification as a Certified Exit Planning Advisor from the Exit Planning Institute underscores my commitment to helping business owners navigate the complexities of exit strategies.
At Frabul, I focus on creating tailored strategies that not only maximize business value but also ensure a fulfilling life post-exit for business owners. I work closely with clients to understand their unique needs and goals, crafting personalized plans that address every aspect of their exit strategy. My objective is to help them achieve a seamless transition, securing their financial future and preserving their legacy.
My journey with Frabul is driven by a passion for seeing smaller businesses thrive. By offering fractional business leadership, I aim to provide them with the strategic advantage they need to compete and succeed in today's dynamic market. Whether it's refining their business development processes or preparing for a successful exit, I am dedicated to delivering results that matter.
I also have a passion for continued education - continuing to dive into the latest technology tools for business optimization using process automation and AI. As I encounter needs in the marketplace, I compliment my foundational knowledge with seminars, certification programs or self-study.
In summary, my role as Founder and President of Frabul, LLC is about empowering businesses to reach their full potential. Through strategic leadership, expert guidance, and a deep understanding of exit planning, I help business owners create the future they envision for themselves and their companies.
