I’m Christopher Salis, SAP strategist, growth advisor, and a firm believer in the transformative power of innovation.
My connection with SAP expertise, and rightfully so after more than two decades in the field, my passion extends far beyond enterprise systems. Over the years, I’ve built a reputation for helping startups evolve into scalable, sustainable businesses with a clear vision and strategic momentum.
My journey has been rooted in mastering software—it's been about guiding founders through uncertainty, aligning technology with purpose, and fueling growth in a world that refuses to stand still. I bridge the gap between operational excellence and innovation, helping entrepreneurs move from idea to execution with confidence.
Whether it's accelerating go-to-market strategies or redefining digital business models, I thrive in environments where vision meets action. Join me as I walk you through how it all unfolds.
I’ve been in the trenches—leading strategic turnarounds, building global teams, closing billion-dollar acquisitions, and launching breakthrough SaaS products like SAP Sourcing. From my early days at Adecco, where I managed IT procurement across 700+ branches, to leading global sales at SAP and orchestrating the acquisition of Ariba for $4.3 billion, every step has taught me something about business, people, and growth.
My true passion lies in turning experience into impact. I thrive in the early, high-energy stages of a startup, where ideas are raw, ambition runs high, and every decision matters. This is where I can assist. I always empower founders to move with clarity, make smarter decisions, and sidestep the costly lessons I’ve already lived.
Complexity excites me. Whether it's SAP or scaling strategies, I, Christopher Salis, specialize in simplifying the process and making the process smoother. With the right partner, even the most complex systems become catalysts for business growth.
I believe that success isn’t about doing everything—it’s about doing the right things at the right time with the right strategy. Whether it's a lean startup or a fast-scaling enterprise, I, Christopher Salis, specialize in pinpointing the right SAP solutions that align with their vision and budget. I’m proud to say I’ve helped many ventures survive. I have assisted the startup to thrive, building solid financial structures, refining operations, and boosting credibility with investors and customers alike.
Great companies aren’t built by products—they’re built by people with purpose, passion, and the power to lead change. Leadership and collaboration. I don’t just drop in with advice and leave. I embed myself in the strategy. I work with teams to foster innovation, open communication, and a culture that can scale. I believe the strongest companies are built on the shoulders of empowered people. That’s why I always say: your team is your greatest asset.
True success isn’t a quick win—it’s a steady climb fuelled by vision, patience, and strategy that stands the test of time. Startups need a trusted guide who understands the journey. Someone who can steer them away from quick wins that lead to long-term problems. I’ve made it my mission to be that steady hand. It’s not about flashy exits; it’s about building something that lasts.
Together, we’ll create more than success—we’ll create a legacy that stands the test of time. So, whether you’re a founder looking to take your first leap or a company ready to scale smart. I, Christopher Salis, am here to help you get there with strategy, SAP expertise, integrity, and the kind of insight you can only get from experience.
Because at the end of the day, I’m not just your SAP guy.
I’m your partner in growth, innovation, and long-term success.
