Chris Williams is the CEO of System Six, a company at the forefront of helping small business operators build better back-office systems and processes. With deep roots in the entrepreneurship through acquisition community, Chris has spent his career helping operators take acquired businesses from founder-dependent to professionally run — with the systems, processes, and teams needed to scale.

As a keynote speaker at SMBash 2026, Chris brings a high-level perspective on what separates operators who build lasting businesses from those who stay stuck in day-to-day chaos. His keynote draws on real experience helping hundreds of operators systemize their acquisitions and create businesses that can grow without the owner doing everything themselves.
