Chris Barrow

Managing Director

Chris has over 30 years of experience covering the software, technology and services sectors. Beginning his career within an IT setting as a system engineer, then migrating to enterprise sales, both domestically and internationally, Chris progressed to senior sales roles including the management of sizeable sales organizations, which in turn positioned him to lead companies as President and CEO.  In 2008 Chris became CEO of a pre-revenue, startup – EagleView Technologies.  Under his leadership, EagleView became one of the fastest-growing technology concerns across the U.S., resulting in its 2015 acquisition by a large private equity firm. In late 2016, Chris founded Imagen Capital Partners, a tech venture firm targeting early-stage start-ups.

Chris received his BS from Brigham Young University.  He is fluent in Spanish having lived in Bogota, Colombia for 10 years and also served a 2 year Spanish-speaking mission in East Los Angeles working with Hispanic families and youth. Chris has actively served in leadership roles in the boy scouts and with youth organizations for over a decade.  He is an avid outdoorsman with a passion for fly fishing.
