2007 Printing Industry Hall of Fame — Master of the Deal - Chris Colville

“Chris is a great financial executive with extremely talented analytical skills,” Davis notes. “He is able to relate to a wide range of people and discuss very complex matters in understandable terms.”

While Colville and CGX did have a formula of determining the value and an offer price for a potential acquisition, Colville often sought to avoid that conversation. The culture of a company and the credibility of the management team paints a much clearer picture than the financials, he believes.
