President / Founder

Chris Hallberg, known as The Business Sergeant, is a military veteran, entrepreneur, leadership coach, and founder of Business Sergeant, where he helps organizations strengthen leadership, improve execution, and connect military veterans with civilian leadership opportunities.

After serving in the military, Chris built and exited multiple companies, including an energy-efficiency business that was sold at an 8x multiple during the Great Recession. He later became one of the earliest EOS implementers and has spent years coaching multimillion-dollar leadership teams through growth, culture challenges, accountability issues, and organizational change.

Chris brings military leadership principles into the business world, emphasizing clarity of mission, disciplined execution, accountability, trust, and team-first leadership. Through Business Sergeant, he also works to bridge the gap between military service and civilian leadership by helping veterans translate their leadership experience into opportunities within growing organizations.

His work is built around a straightforward belief: strong strategies only go so far without strong leaders to execute them. Chris helps organizations address the leadership and cultural issues that can undermine performance, replacing confusion with clarity, silos with teamwork, and complexity with disciplined execution.
