AXCG - CEO CHRIS CAREY DD
Chris Carey Bio
Chris Carey has been designing tremendous company turnarounds for more than 30 years. He knows the challenges particular to business ownership because he’s been there himself in virtually every capacity, CEO to advisor, talking straight with partners in a family-owned business to taking $100 million-plus companies public.
With the perspective of a true entrepreneur, Carey has developed a proven process that yields a thorough, concrete, measurable understanding of any business. Then he and his team modify the design of that business to produce the most desirable results. Carey lends his dynamic personal talent—for working with people as well as with numbers—to every Chris Carey Advisors client. He engages through a period of immersion and assesses a company’s particular culture with deep understanding and respect, then works with existing resources to increase sales growth and improve profitability and cash flow.
Carey is a graduate of Princeton University, where he majored in architecture and engineering (and was an All-American wrestler). His first job was with a technology services firm—where, within a year of employment and at the age of 24, he led an MBO. He became the company’s CEO and over the next 20 years created the largest technology deployment firm in North America, with more than 750 people and $100 million in revenue.
The dramatic turnaround story has continued to define Carey’s career and decades of success with clients, including improving one client’s operating profit by 800% over three years and increasing another business’s annual sales growth from 5% to more than 35%. Aligning his own success with that of his clients, Carey’s compensation comes from an innovative blended fee arrangement. Literally and confidently investing in turnaround potential, Carey participates in the value appreciation of his clients’ businesses.
Carey is a member of the World Presidents’ Organization, the Chief Executives Organization, and past chapter chairman of the Young Presidents’ Organization. He was named Entrepreneur of the Year by New Jersey magazine and Small Business Philanthropist of the Year by the Community Foundation of New Jersey. Carey has also been featured in numerous articles, including in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Business Week, and Inc—and is a frequent speaker at industry and business conferences. He lives in Brooklyn, New York, with his wife Mary, near their son, their daughter and son-in-law, and two granddaughters.

Client Testimonials:
“Chris led the charge to secure $2 million in price increases from customers, unheard of in our industry. He also developed the technology group into a profit center, so we began selling technology instead of just providing it. He’s a very bright individual who works through the issues and gets the most out of people.”
“Chris Carey Advisors developed a program called WOW, which is our approach to engaging our customers and guards in a partnership to improve service. This is far from typical in our industry. It gave me something to offer our customers and greatly improved my ability to sell. Another huge benefit was that our security guards took ownership and pride in their jobs. Chris has a wealth of knowledge. He brings substance to the table and he works hard with you.”
“Chris instituted best practices and built and educated our management team that led to 150% growth of the business. He is an expert negotiator and a great dealmaker—someone who can negotiate with the big boys at the CEO level. He is tenacious! I consider Chris a mentor of mine. He taught me a tremendous amount about business. A terrific leader!”
“Chris implemented a quantum leap to new technology that helped bring in the company’s largest account. He’s great on the bottom line—analyzing accounts and establishing profitability. Chris is clear-thinking and decisive and can see down the road. He’s entrepreneurial, unconventional, and quicker than most.”
“Chris implemented a labor-planning system so, for the first time, we could forecast labor every single day; this increased productivity and resulted in millions of dollars in savings. He also empowered business unit managers to get a handle on their operations. He has an atypical, roundtable approach that encourages everyone to participate and he has an inherent ability to be objective about business.”
“We had always run by sense of smell. Chris set up tangible, measurable objectives and elevated our business to a whole new level of sophistication. He’s a master of the P & L. Chris doesn’t shy away from conflict but addresses it in a non-emotional, professional way. He opened up the lines of communication and resolved issues.”
“Chris helped us focus. He provided real solutions and strategies to effect client retention, margin, and growth. He’s phenomenal at working with a family business. He crafted a deal for me that no one else could have done. He is unique in that he sees the big picture and can also drill down—not the case with most consultants and business advisors I’ve worked with. Chris gets to the heart of the matter quickly and just gets it fixed. He uses examples from his own experience to show what works. He’s able to get through tough, inflammatory issues. One of the smartest people I know!”
