Background

About Christopher Parent

I am Chris Parent. I grew up in Danville, CA, in a Spanish-speaking household, with strong family ties to Mexico, which has cultivated my global mindset. In 2007, I ventured to the Southwest to embark on my academic journey at the University of Arizona. There, I pursued a major in political science, specializing in international relations. However, I eventually realized that politics was not my calling. My career trajectory shifted towards sales management, and from that point forward, I've seen my professional journey soar. I've had the privilege of residing in diverse locations, including Arizona, France, Texas, and now Albuquerque, New Mexico. Currently, my family and I reside on a horse farm just outside the city, where I work remotely for PepsiCo. With 11 years of experience in the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industry, particularly with Frito-Lay/PepsiCo, I have evolved into an accomplished leader. My professional journey with Frito-Lay began straight out of college, and it has encompassed a wide array of roles, including field leadership, sales operations, sales technology, CRM, and project management. My guiding philosophy has always been to accumulate a broad spectrum of experiences, equipping me to deliver the utmost value in my work.
