Welcome Chris Stanton as Our New VP of Sales
I’m thrilled to announce that Chris Stanton has joined Palona as VP of Sales!
Chris brings with him a wealth of experience, a passion for customers, and a proven track record of driving growth in dynamic environments. His arrival marks a pivotal moment for Palona as we continue to scale and deliver even greater value to our customers.
Chris and I first met through a mutual friend who described Chris as an amazing enterprise sales leader and an awesome human being. Over the next few weeks, as I got to know Chris better, I realized how true this was. Chris was curious and insightful, with a good sense of humor. He didn’t bat an eye when our AI Skin Test product demo brutally recommended an eye cream for the dark circles under his eyes. I could tell in our discussion that he was hooked on AI and on our mission here at Palona.
In Chris’s own words: “Rarely do you get the opportunity to be part of something unique at the ground floor. When I first connected with Maria I had no expectations, but by the end of our first call, I could tell there was something special about the Palona team. A few short weeks later, I was ready to uproot myself, move to California, and throw myself head first into Palona’s next chapter.”
Chris’s journey in sales leadership is nothing short of inspiring. With over a decade of experience at innovative companies, he’s demonstrated an ability to blend data-driven strategy with genuine empathy. His approach is rooted in understanding customer needs, fostering collaboration, and empowering those around him to excel.
But what truly sets Chris apart is his commitment to cultivating a culture of curiosity and continuous improvement. Whether he’s coaching a new team member or collaborating with product and marketing, Chris leads by example-always looking for ways to raise the bar and deliver exceptional results.
We’re at an exciting inflection point as a company. As we expand our reach and deepen our relationships with customers, Chris’s leadership will be instrumental. His expertise in building scalable sales processes, nurturing talent, and forging strong partnerships aligns perfectly with our mission and values.
Chris shares our belief that sales is about more than numbers–it’s about building trust, creating value, and making a lasting impact. We can’t wait to see how his vision and energy help shape the next chapter of our journey.
Please join me in giving Chris a warm welcome! We’re confident that his leadership will help us reach new heights together.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to grow and innovate. If you’d like to connect with Chris, you can find him on LinkedIn.
Welcome aboard, Chris-we’re so glad you’re here!
