Chris Gilbert · Edmonton, Alberta

Turn vision into a lasting impact.

I work with mission-driven leaders in three separate ways: as a board candidate, as a creative partner, and as hands-on tech support. Choose the one that brings you here, and you’ll only see what matters to you.

  • Branding and websites since 1998
  • Ten years of Rotary service across Alberta
  • Past leadership with both BNI and Bx Networking
  • Studied in London, Ontario. Relocated to Alberta in 2013.

Choose a path

Three ways in, kept separate.

01 · For boards Looking for a board member? I’m seeking a director seat with an Alberta nonprofit, charity or faith-based organization. I bring nearly three decades of digital, marketing and business experience to the board table and help boards make clear, confident decisions about technology, cybersecurity and long-term sustainability.
  • Digital and data risk oversight
  • Communications and reputation
  • Board profile, biography and one-page bio (PDF)

02 · For nonprofits, churches & small businesses Need hands-on help? Custom coded websites, brand and creative strategy, hosting, Google reviews and automation, handled by one person you can call. No ticket queues and no hand-offs, and everything explained in plain language.
  • Brand, creative strategy and websites
  • Managed hosting and email
  • Reputation, CRM, AI and automation
Enter the creative side →
03 · For teams without IT staff Something not working? Tech support from a real person, not a ticket queue. When your website breaks, your email stops syncing or a login locks you out, I fix it and explain what happened in plain language.
  • Website support and fixes
  • Email, accounts, backups and security
  • Systems, CRMs and migrations
Enter the technical side →

Board service and client work stay separate. If I serve on your board, I take no paid work from your organization.

Not sure which path fits? Just ask.

Call, text or email and you’ll hear back from me, not a ticket queue.
