About Chris Bové

---

Hi everyone, I'm Chris Bové. 

It's not too often that you find professionals who have a career they love, deeply. I was fortunate to have been struck by that lightning... twice. 

I run my own company, editing for film, broadcast, streaming, and online media spaces. Full-scale documentary work for international and national clients. Projects have included Emmy ward nominated productions for PBS, APT, and Vision Maker Media. 

With abilities in storytelling stronger than most, I've had the joy of collaborating with some of the top filmmakers in the business. 

As an editor, I used every app out there, but Avid Media Composer was the focus. I became one of the world's top users, so Avid eventually headhunted me. In 2021 I joined their Customer Team under the great Marianna Montague. 

My duties grew quickly. In less than a year I was hiring teams of Customer Success Managers running engagements for D2C and B2B. We leveraged LAER. We built an architecture of human + digital motions. We partnered with our internal eCommerce, Lifecycle, Sales, and Product teams on content creation, segmentation, and deployment. 

Running new workflows in adoption, expansion, and retention, we quickly found great success. Adoption went up. Retention went up. And to me, most importantly, the overall experience for users got better.

As you can see... These aren't two careers, but one active career spanning two industries. It bridges customers and venders, with a deep understanding of both sides. I am thus able to move forward with decisions stronger and more confident than most. This has been a wonderful gift. 

As a business owner, a leader of global teams, and a contractor, I truly know the difference between being a boss and being a leader.

The goal is always to lead with empathy, transparency, integrity, and vision — inspiring teams to bring their best selves to work, fostering a culture of trust, collaboration, and purpose where every voice is valued and every individual can thrive. Combining compassion with excellence empowers others to achieve extraordinary results.
