Honest Talk About Building, Selling, and What Happens After

Looking for a speaker who’s actually built and sold a business? I’m not a professional keynote speaker who researched entrepreneurship. I’m a founder who spent 22 years building a marketing agency and three years selling it.

I’m Christine Slocumb, an agency founder, exit advisor, and author. I speak about the parts of building and selling a business that most speakers skip over because they’re too messy or too real.

Whether I’m on a panel, podcast, or keynote stage, I bring practical advice, honest stories, and a dash of humor to help business leaders grow and exit successfully.

What Buyers Actually Look For
