Hi, I'm Chris Stanhope

About Me

I was born and raised in the suburbs in Dearborn, Michigan and still live in the Metro Detroit area. I enjoy staying active by golfing, weight training, playing volleyball, biking, hiking, and traveling when I can outside of work. I also enjoy learning about various topics and reading books that make me a better professional, partner and overall person. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from Adrian College with the intention to be a physician assistant because I thought this was the most direct way to help people. After some reflection, I realized that my gifts and strengths would be better used helping people achieve their goals and solve their problems in the business world, which has brought me to working in sales. My main goal in life is to be a person of value for my family, friends, and the people I do business with.

About My Work

One of my first jobs out of college was working as a client executive for a small managed print and copier company, which was then followed by working as an IT recruiter for a staffing firm. After realizing that there was a significant growing need for businesses everywhere for IT talent and services, I got an opportunity to work for an IT managed services consulting firm specializing in Microsoft cloud, security, infrastructure and modern desktop. As a client executive, I learned so much during my two years working in the manage service provider space. Following that, I decided to take my talents to Dataprise where I truly feel at home and hope to help them become the best managed service provider in the United States. I also look forward to helping my clients crush their business and IT goals.
