Meet the Team

Chris Carruthers

I’m a builder — of programs, systems, people, and ideas.

Over the past decade, I’ve dedicated my career to designing transformative experiences that empower individuals and elevate communities. Whether it’s launching youth leadership academies, developing entrepreneurial ecosystems for young founders of color, or engineering AI-driven tools that assess mental wellness, my work sits at the intersection of education, innovation, and impact.

At my core, I’m a strategic program architect. I don’t believe in quick fixes or templated solutions — I build infrastructure. My approach blends data-driven strategy with human-centered design, ensuring every initiative I touch is scalable, sustainable, and deeply rooted in real-world value.

From classrooms to boardrooms, from grassroots nonprofits to tech-forward startups, I’ve worked across industries and institutions to reimagine what’s possible. I’ve secured local, state, and federal funding. I’ve coached aspiring entrepreneurs. I’ve led workshops that spark breakthrough thinking and built tools that respond to mental health crises in real time. And I’m just getting started.

If you’re looking for someone who can not only see the big picture but build the systems to make it real — let’s talk.
