IT Director | ERP Consultant | Digital Transformation
Connect on LinkedInI'm Chris Okotete-Peters, currently based in Chicago, Illinois. I'm married with three kids, and I work as an IT Director and ERP Consultant, where I lead technology strategy, ERP implementations, and digital transformation initiatives for mid-size companies.
My background is heavily focused on technology, operations, and systems optimization. I've spent most of my career helping businesses scale through better infrastructure, automation, and process improvements.
One of my major goals over the next few years is to transition away from the traditional corporate 9–5 and build a portfolio of businesses that I own. My vision is to operate primarily as an absentee or strategic owner, focusing on capital allocation, growth strategy, and acquisitions.

Weeks 9–12Long term, my vision is to build a holding company that acquires and grows profitable small to mid-size businesses, while maintaining strong leadership teams in place. I'm looking to acquire businesses where I can add strategic value through my technology and operations background, without disrupting what already works.
Ideally, I want to acquire businesses that already have strong teams and systems, allowing me to focus on scaling and eventually building a portfolio of multiple companies over time. Your business will be in good hands, with a focus on preserving what you've built while positioning it for continued success.
Not all buyers are created equal. Here's what makes working directly with me a fundamentally different — and better — experience.
ChrisDirect Buyer | PE Firm / BrokerTraditional Route | |
|---|---|---|
| Decision Maker | You speak directly with the buyer | Multiple layers of committees |
| Confidentiality | Strict NDA from day one | Info shared across deal teams |
| Speed to Close | 60–90 days typical | 6–18 months common |
| Broker Fees | Zero — no middleman | 5–10% of deal value |
| Employee Treatment | Preserve culture & retain team | Restructuring & layoffs common |
| Seller Involvement | Your preferred level of involvement | Often forced exit post-close |
| Deal Flexibility | Creative structures (earnouts, equity) | Rigid, template-driven terms |
| Long-term Vision | Grow & steward your legacy | Flip for profit in 3–5 years |
I acquire businesses to grow them — not strip them. Your brand, your team, and the culture you've built will be respected and preserved.
Working directly with me means zero broker commissions. More of the deal value stays in your pocket where it belongs.
As the sole decision-maker, I move quickly. No investment committees, no endless approval chains — just a clear, efficient process.
Your employees, customers, and competitors won't know a thing until you're ready. I sign NDAs immediately and take discretion seriously.
Seller financing, earnouts, equity rollovers — I'm open to creative structures that work for your financial and personal goals.
You're not selling to a faceless institution. You're working with Chris — a family man, a professional, and someone who genuinely cares about what you've built.
Don't just take my word for it. Here's what people who've worked closely with me have to say.
