Testimonials

“I was fortunate to have both Lynda and Chris as key senior leaders on my team when I led The Clorox Professional Products Company. B2B can be an exciting untapped growth opportunity for many products and brands, but it has a unique go-to-market model vs the consumer space. They both personally took the time to educate me as I made the transition from traditional CPG to B2B and I could not have been successful without their insight, leadership and execution skills. What distinguishes Lynda and Chris is their deep experience in driving products and concepts from strategy to execution. They are not only adept at seeing where the puck is going, but they also have the entrepreneurial drive and proven ability to monetize ideas in the B2B space. With their significant experience in B2B sales and marketing, as well as their deep industry contacts across the Foodservice, Commercial Cleaning and Healthcare industries, Lynda and Chris are experienced guides that can help a company successfully navigate the go-to-market path.”

Former Vice President & General Manager, The Clorox Company

“I worked with Chris for over 5 years at The Clorox Company as he was leading our Foodservice and Out of Home Partnership businesses. His leadership, industry expertise and relationship building was second to none. Unique to Chris was his ability to develop a strategic plan and drive it to actual execution and business results. Chris took the time to listen to clients, understand their strategic objectives and marry them with our goals and aspirations. He then consistently marshalled the appropriate resources, painted a vision for success and executed against measurable, tangible results. Chris and his team doubled our Foodservice business and built over 10 brand partnerships with companies such as United Airlines, Uber, AMC Theatres and LiveNation among others. Such a unique ability to translate strategy into action and results.”

Heath Rigsby
Former Vice President of Sales, The Clorox Company

“I had the pleasure of working with Lynda in the Clorox Professional Products division for many years. I have never met a leader as whip-smart, versatile, and thoughtful as she. Her strategic thinking is unparalleled--no matter the problem or situation, Lynda asks the right questions to quickly understand and assess, then distills it to its essential parts to drive focus and action. I saw her do this time and time again on the CloroxPro brand, whether launching a new product, building the innovation pipeline, overcoming a competitive threat, increasing profitability of the portfolio, or enabling her direct team and the broader leadership team to work through operational challenges. And she balances her strategic mindset with a bias for action, to bring plans to life quickly and drive results.

Lynda has deep knowledge and a proven track record of designing and driving winning B2B brand marketing strategies, specifically in the Foodservice, Healthcare, and Commercial Cleaning markets. Her laser focus on the professional consumer and ability to develop strong integrated marketing plans behind the CloroxPro and Clorox Healthcare brand portfolios delivered the highest growth at The Clorox Company for many years and built lasting, category-leading brands. She also really cares and is consistently curious, seeking to learn in all situations before presenting solutions, which makes her someone that everyone wants to work with.”

“Chris has been an impactful advisor to my business for over 7 years. His ability to take complex issues in dynamic environments, and identify clear objectives with actionable, real-world implementation strategies is second to none. Whenever we are pivoting, entering into new segments, or revisiting core business strategy, his advice is invaluable.”

David Medak
Owner, Pensieve Foods LLC

“I am the founder and past CEO of Affinity West. We are a foodservice sales agency operating in the 11 western states. I started the company 23 years ago and have had the pleasure to represent many fine packaged food and non-food companies. My two-decade-long relationship with The Clorox Company led me to know Chris Klimas. Chris worked with my entire team in the West building the Clorox Brand and most specifically with me as the client relationship manager for Clorox.

Chris has the unique ability to understand the strategy and long-term goals of building a business while being very in tune to the tactics on how to get there. Chris often would work in the field to understand what the needs of both the customer and my sales staff were and helped develop plans that satisfied both. Chris was also a true professional in the boardroom where he understood the needs and requirements of his senior management. I am honored to call Chris a valued business partner and good friend.”

Jerry Campbell
Founder & Former CEO, Affinity Group West

"I had the privilege of working directly with Lynda for over 5 years in the Clorox Professional / B2B Division, where she held leadership positions in marketing and also served as General Manager.  During her time as General Manager, Lynda played a crucial role in leading the business through a strategic refresh post-pandemic, leveraging her marketing skills to ensure the strategy was grounded in customer and consumer needs. She was also adept in understanding the financial implications of the integrated set of choices we needed to make on the business and I appreciated her partnership and business acumen throughout the process. Her ability to simplify complex ideas and effectively communicate them to all levels both within the organization and with external partners is amazing, which allowed the new strategy to immediately resonate with our customers, brokers and field selling team."

She creates the right conditions for great work to shine and can manage both up and down to ensure the strategy and creative stay true to their intent.”
