Christine "Chris" Slocumb

I founded and grew a healthcare marketing agency from a one-woman consultancy to an award-winning company. 22 years later, I sold it to private equity, a feat most small boutique agencies never pull off.

Christine "Chris" Slocumb spent 22 years building Clarity Quest Marketing into an award-winning healthare marketing agency before selling to private equity in 2023.

She stayed on as Chief Growth Officer through the transition, growing revenues by 88%, then made her full exit in early 2025. Chris holds bachelor's and master's degrees in electrical engineering from Villanova University and authored eight patents during her time in semiconductor design at Motorola, before pivoting into marketing and eventually founding Clarity Quest. She's the author of Stop Starvation Marketing and Mastering the Exit Gauntlet, and today she advises founders on exit readiness, growth strategies, buyer positioning, and deal execution.

“I went through five letters of intent and four failed deals before I finally sold my agency. I know what it feels like to sit across from a buyer and not know if they have the money or if they are serious. That's the gap the Whisper Group closes for founders. I partner with them because their process gives owners the structure and advice I wish I'd had sooner.”
