About
I'm Chris Loope. I've spent my career building, fixing, and scaling operations inside staffing, healthcare, and workforce technology companies — as CEO, CTO, CIO, CDO, and Chief Transformation Officer.
Today I take on fractional executive and transformation program engagements through Pedagogue Systems. I also serve as CTO at ActivateStaff and sit on the ASA Staffing Technology Taskforce.
