Chris Rollins

Chris Rollins has made significant strides in the corporate sector, becoming the SVP of Organizational Development for a top digital marketing research firm by age 30. Now, with over a decade of experience in leadership coaching, sales, client management, and organizational development, he provides valuable insights to leaders at various organizational levels. Rollins' client roster boasts engagements with prominent Fortune 500 companies including Walmart, Oracle, SAP, Raytheon, Clorox, and YouTube, among others.

His personal journey as a closeted Division I College Athlete in the South profoundly influences his professional ethos. This experience, combined with a pivotal conversation with his father, has shaped his approach to leadership and organizational culture. Rollins champions the creation of inclusive, high-trust, and human-centered work environments through his leadership training and executive coaching programs. His talks are particularly focused on building high-trust teams in traditionally low-trust settings and cultivating leadership that promotes connection, engagement, and inclusion.

As the creator of "The Ripple Effect Leader™" and the founder of QueeHR, a global online community with over 700 LGBTQ+ and ally changemakers in the HR, DEI, and People space, Rollins continues to advocate for transforming the workplace into a more inclusive and supportive environment. His work not only emphasizes the humanization of work processes but also aims at empowering workforces to succeed and thrive in diverse settings.
