Christopher Peters

CEO

Chris Peters has a track record of generating substantial returns for his clients, ranging from Fortune 500 companies to start-ups.  His work has been documented in several books and in publications ranging from The Wall Street Journal to BusinessWeek and Nikkei News.

Today, Chris works with both commercial and government clients—such as NASA and the Department of Defense—to develop next-generation manufacturing supply chain solutions with an emphasis on driving adoption of those solutions.

Previous accomplishments include co-founding MetalSite, where he developed the concepts and model for the world’s first industry-backed online supply chain hub.  The firm exceeded adoption and revenue projections in the first six months and earned his client a $183 million return on a $20 million investment.  This innovative business model, which had as partners five of the nation's largest metals companies, set the stage for many similar models in other industries world-wide.

As the CEO of eMarket Concepts, an international strategic consulting firm, Chris helped clients in thirty industries throughout North America, Europe and Asia.  He also launched EM Concepts Asia, a joint venture chaired by the former chairman of Compaq Japan. 

The results of his work have led to highly defensible business plans, for which Mr. Peters has raised or helped raise many millions of dollars from industry leaders, angel investors and venture capital firms.
