Chris Williams, Principal
Founded Fairway to work hard, roll-up the sleeves, and build something for the long-run
Prior to Fairway, I spent time at:
Emporos Systems, a small software business in Charlotte, NC, working with the CEO on product strategy and helping to optimize the customer service effort
Strive Communities, a manufactured housing community owner in Denver, CO, working with the finance team to stand up professional reporting and the acquisitions team to streamline add-ons
TPG, a leading private equity firm in San Francisco, CA, working on $1B+ of transactions across 200+ properties in housing, industrial and retail
Falls Road Golf Course - my first job in high school, washing and parking golf carts, practicing my Spanish with my co-workers and learning to love working on my feet
I have an MBA from Stanford University and a BA from Brown University, both with honors
In my spare time, I work on my golf game, read, and try (and usually fail) to keep up with my better-half. For the last five years, I've been active volunteer, mentor, advisor and junior board member with The First Tee of San Francisco
I currently live in the Bay Area and with deep family ties to California (Bay Area + Central Coast + Orange County). I'm proudly focused on opportunities in California and the Western U.S. to stay close to what ultimately matters most in life - family
