Chris Caton has the experience and business acumen to help clients in more ways than one. Any ex-corporate MBA can transmit business tips, but it takes a former entrepreneur to come alongside clients and help uncover their biggest need. Rated World Class by the Net Promoter Score System, Chris Caton supports clients through the emotional angst of business ownership in addition to offering solid business advice.

While living in Chicago, Chris founded a real estate company that provided services to landlords owning 1,000 apartments or more. During this time, he became a client of Cultivate Advisors, under the leadership of Morgan Ciani. After owning his successful business for eleven years and training over 350 salespeople, Chris sold his company to a competitor.
