Chris Mooney

Chief Operations Officer

Chris Mooney - Chief Operations Officer

Hi, I'm Chris, and I'm a big family guy (father of six!). While my various management positions through the years have had many commitments and responsibilities, my passion in work has always been to build a team that is like family, and not simply a collection of co-workers.

I previously worked for 18.5 years at SpringDrive Graphics, most of it as the Quality Assurance Manager. My focus there was Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM), which included project management, which often involved multiple simultaneous product deployments with companies around the world. Also, I headed up the creation and maintenance of operations manuals, employee training, and customer support, and consulted in DCIM software development.

I bring my blend of passion and commitment to Runningboards Marketing so that, together, we can build a brand driven by community, elevating all who come in contact with us, and having a lot of fun doing it!
