About the Founder - Chris Murray
From sales representative to Vice President of Strategic Partnerships, I've worked every angle of this industry — the vendor side, the operator side, and the practice floor itself. At Platinum Dermatology Partners I helped commercialize aesthetic revenue to $90 million annually across 125 locations. At Galderma, I was involved early in the GAIN program, one of the most respected physician training platforms in the industry, and now I've joined as GAIN Business Faculty. At Revision Skincare, I built national accounts programs and KOL strategies during a major private equity transition.
I've negotiated vendor agreements at scale, launched private label product lines, built e-commerce platforms, recruited and trained high-performance teams, and advised during private equity transitions. I've sat at board tables and I've stood on practice floors — often in the same week.
Before this industry, I served as a Staff Sergeant in the United States Air Force, deploying into combat twice.
