Chris (@chrislema) started his first enterprise in 4th grade – with his own version of arbitrage. He bought packs of Now&Laters for $.25 and sold each candy piece for $.25 the next day. For 15 days he was rich! Then, he got in trouble and the “man” shut him down.
You could say the entrepreneurial bug bit Chris early. Since then, he has helped start three software companies, sold two of them, and joined two others to help accelerate their product development. He has worn the engineer, analyst, designer, product manager, architect and product marketer hats in different companies.
Since 2006, Chris has been working for Emphasys Software as their Vice President of Software Engineering, focused on new product development and organic growth. He is also a blogger (chrislema.com), ebook author and runs the WordPress Meetup in North County San Diego.
