After leading the company as CEO for ten years, he sold his shares and founded CEO vs CEO to help entrepreneurs scale their businesses.

about chris zadeh
"Throughout my career as a CEO, entrepreneur and investor, I have rarely worked with anyone who has impressed me greatly as an entrepreneur, negotiator and strategist. Except for Chris Zadeh, who has proven to be very successful and capable in all these areas. Moreover, he keeps his appointments and is 100% reliable."

Alex Mulder
Founder USG People
“I have known, mentored and worked with Chris for more than 20 years and for me it is a fact that if Chris is part of a deal, the deal will be better.”
Kalo Bagijn
Founder BinckBank & Brand New Day Bank
"Chris has a unique combination of skills: on the one hand, he can think along with Technology down to the smallest level of detail. On the other hand, I have rarely met someone who can deliver such a persuasive sales pitch. There are many good Tech people and many good salespeople on this earth. However, you rarely find a combination of both in one person. Except with Chris..."
