Chris has spent three decades watching agencies struggle with the same challenges: reacting instead of planning, making budget decisions without the data to back them up, and watching roads deteriorate faster than dollars can keep up. He’s also watched something else happen — the industry get smarter, the tools get better, and the barrier to entry come down in a real way. This interview covers all of it.
