About Me

Christine K. Bailey is a published author, communications expert and business growth strategist.

She specializes in harnessing the power of the written (and spoken) word to help CEOs, business owners and individuals effectively communicate with their stakeholders – employees, customers, investors and partners – to scale and grow their businesses. As the owner of Christine K. Bailey & Associates she focuses on working with CEOs and business owners to clarify their business vision and lead their companies to improved performance and profitability. Leveraging the same philosophies and processes, she created From Dreaming to Doing™, a personal growth and development program to help individuals accomplish their biggest life goals – effectively writing their own success stories.

Throughout her career, Christine has developed and led marketing and sales operations efforts for private equity and venture capital-backed organizations to help them effectively tell their stories to the right audiences to build and nurture multi-million-dollar sales pipelines. Most recently, as executive director, Christine established a city-wide business incubation and entrepreneurial development program – Chandler Innovations powered by NACET – for the City of Chandler in the Phoenix metropolitan area. The four-track curriculum at the core of the business incubation program is currently being adopted by organizations and communities in Arizona and the West.
