Chris Baylis
Chris Baylis, sponsorship expert
Chris is the president and CEO of the sponsorship collective and a self-confessed sponsorship geek.

Chris decided to cross over to the sponsorship sales side where he has personally closed tens of millions of dollars in sponsorship deals. Chris has been on the front lines of multi-million-dollar sponsorship agreements and has built and coached teams to do the same.
Chris launched the sponsorship collective with one goal in mind:
To build best-in-class sponsorship programs for his clients
Chris now spends his time working with clients to value their assets and build strategies that drive sales. An accomplished speaker and international consultant, Chris has helped his clients raise millions in sponsorship dollars.
