PlanetOne’s Chris Werpy

PlanetOne
“Lines will blur and new lines will be drawn. Traditional competition will thin out and new competitors will surface. The importance of partnership — with whom you choose to do business and why – will show its value and its challenges in 2022.”
Chris Werpy influenced the tech advisory channel on multiple fronts in 2021.
For starters, Werpy oversaw strong growth for technology sourcing partner PlanetOne, which expanded its team and launched a business intelligence platform. These advancements came during Werpy’s short tenure as COO, before he earned a promotion to president.
On the other hand, Werpy has functioned as a whisperer of sorts to partners making difficult business decisions. In particular, he has used his experience working with private equity at Masergy to offer agents advice about M&A. Werpy predicted the channel to see increased “consolidation, capital and collaboration” in 2022.
