Christopher Ciniello, MBA

Strategic partnerships and business development leader with 14+ years of experience, including 10+ years in FinTech across both pre-IPO and public companies. I specialize in driving revenue, launching and scaling GTM strategies, and building high-impact partnerships that deliver measurable value. I co-founded and built a turn-down referral business from the ground up—proof of my ability to innovate, lead cross-functional collaboration, and grow new revenue channels with limited resources. My leadership style is grounded in empathy, transparency, and accountability. I take pride in building and coaching teams that thrive in dynamic environments. I’m passionate about solving complex problems, optimizing operations, and fostering company culture. Whether I’m scaling partnerships, negotiating multi-million-dollar opportunities, or taking a walk with my dog to think through a challenge - I believe execution and alignment are what drive results. Let’s connect if you're building something meaningful and want to talk strategy, partnerships, or scaling sustainably.
