From Garage to Boardroom — Creating Clarity Through Chaos
Chris Buckingham is a recognized voice on leadership effectiveness, operational clarity, and systems-driven business growth. While he is widely respected as an ascending consultant in the IT and MSP channel, Chris’s message resonates in any industry where leaders are trying to scale, eliminate chaos, and build predictable momentum.
After his employer shut down overnight, Chris launched MinnDak Computer Services from his garage. Through disciplined leadership, values-based decisions, and structured execution frameworks, he grew the company into a scalable, high-performing organization that was ultimately acquired.
Today, as Founder of SolveCXO, he brings those transformative lessons to stages, workshops, and leadership teams nationwide — helping businesses simplify complexity, create focus, and turn vision into action.
