Christopher Bell III (CB3)
ADVISOR & COACH
I am the Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder of StealthEnomics®. Along the way, I have successfully diversified my professional portfolio as a Forbes Contributor, former Entrepreneur-in- Residence at the Maryland Innovation Center, an award-winning entrepreneur, complex sales expert, business launch designer, executive advisor, humanitarian, podcast guest, and as an occasional blogger and keynote speaker.
ENTERPRISE TECHNOLOGY SALES EXCELLENCE
It took a little more than two decades to personally add nearly $1Bn of new individual software sales and project solutions revenues with five-year cost savings for my customers. My former employers? Companies who were acquired and merged with three of the top five enterprises software companies in the world, and two of the top 10 life sciences companies in the world. My customers? The Fortune 500, Global 2000, academic research institutions, US Federal agencies, and public sector entities.

ENTREPRENEURIAL INSPIRATION
I was once shocked to be laid off (through no fault of my own) while I was at the “top of my game” (or so I thought). I was recovering from cancer surgery. Through therapy, I realized I had rented my life, expertise, and unique skills to an employer who determined I was disposable. My receipt for the rent I paid…a paystub. I had secured no equity in or ownership over anything I produced, and I was angry…with myself.
That’s when I launched Chris Bell3rd & Company, a global technology sales consulting agency, and won the Melinda Emerson $25,000 Entrepreneurs Challenge. I shut down my profitable consulting firm to focus on StealthEnomics while intermittently consulting and being employed by SaaS companies.
SERVING VISIONARIES
In an era of uncertainty and rapid change, where synthetic AI tools are promptly delivering sterile results from our inquiries and authentic relationships are fewer and less connected, I remain committed to maintaining a desperately needed sanctuary at StealthEnomics©. During one-on-one sessions, wisdom can be poured into the inspired thoughts and challenges of ideation-stage visionaries, working professionals, and the recently unemployed.
I continue to learn, promote, share, and advance the benefits of technology solutions that are congruent with my life’s purpose: to improve the human condition.
