Today Chris is a full-time online instructor—but not through traditional university education—instead through 45 of his own online courses. An MBA graduate from Columbia University himself, he is now famous for his top selling business program “An Entire MBA in 1 Course”, which takes students beyond the theoretical and practical frameworks taught in business schools by teaching crucial lessons and practical applications to real world problems. He has shared his powerful, practical, and revolutionary business and life wisdom with more than 500,000 students around the world and his courses have been profiled in Business Insider, NBC, Inc, Forbes, CNN, Entrepreneur & on other business news websites In addition to creating online courses, Chris spends his investing in EdTech and contributing to educational charities.
