Tess Mahoney

Recipe Developer, Consultant, & Private Chef

Chris is a take charge individual and he is one of the best manufacturing managers that I have ever worked with my career. His extended background in six-sigma and lean techniques were instrumental in successfully implementing several programs in both Onvio and Moveras manufacturing operations, improving product throughput, leading to material and labor savings.

Christina Jelev

Treasury and Internal Controls Manager , Stonyfield Farm, Inc.

Chris uses the "player-coach" model most effectively to energize his team. He firmly believes in people, product and process development to help grow the business. My lean journey/experience started with Chris's guidance and support, and I appreciate that he keeps things simple when he starts building a lean culture. I definitely recommend Chris to any business that wants to make continuous improvement as one of their core values.

I had the delightful experience of getting to work with Chris Guerrera recently. He's a man on a mission and his astounding career speaks for itself. He's risen through the ranks of companies and has been a top level efficiency expert for many others. His brain works fast and is able to combine out of the box thinking with structure and clarity. Chris has a world class brand and if you are seeking to bring a product to market then Chris will guide you, lead you and make you a success.

Mary Gardener

CEO, Gardner Communications / Inspirational Speakers Academy

In 2014 we met on the set of Good Morning America. He is as genuine, honest and caring as they come. He lives by integrity and is a man of his word. He's straight forward and will keep it real with you and not sugar coat anything. Many times that's what young entrepreneurs need. The cold honest truth. He absolutely LOVES making products in America helping entrepreneurs match offshore pricing and knows everything about new product development on the front and back end, and that’s rare. He’s the Made in America guy for a reason. He's an amazing leader, mentor, coach and family man. He treats everyone around him fair and equal. I'm very lucky to have him by my side as a mentor but most importantly as one of my closet friends.

Chris gets my highest recommendation and it is a great opportunity to work with and learn from him.

Being a first time inventor, a first time pitch event attendee and having a product that isn’t currently on the market, I really had no idea what to expect. But for the weeks to days leading up to it and throughout the entire weekend Brandi was constantly checking in making sure I was all set. She truly embodies the entrepreneurial spirit which is constant effort and little to no sleep! 

 
The whole experience, start to finish, was incredible. It was such a pleasure to meet some amazing and talented entrepreneurs, get a chance to see so many innovative products and listen to some very inspiring key notes! A big thank you to Daymond John for sharing his time with all of us! 
 
Chris and his team are fantastic and truly care about the inventor community! Having the opportunity to participate in their Pitch The Pros event is something that every inventor should aspire to be involved in. I was honored and humbled to be one of the few chosen to pitch! 
 
With heartfelt gratitude!

Thank you Chris and Brandi sincerely.

It is really a rare thing in business to take part in an event which, by its very design and nature, was created to give the small entrepreneur a chance for fame, fortune, and glory. The Pitch the Pros event, recently held in Greenville, South Carolina provided a unique and welcoming product presentation platform; while simultaneously providing a fantastic opportunity to create meaningful, potentially long term, profitable, professional connections.

Promoting our product and business ideas to these professionals, event attendees, the large media presence, and like-minded entrepreneurs was truly a dream come true. We got to do it all, while having the freedom to, shout from the rafters (or in this case, the stage at PKL Park) telling the world about our innovative product the “CADDIE” and what it is all about.

We believe that MODERN-INVENTOR’s Chris Guerrera and Brandi Lombardo have put together something truly special. When a planned event becomes a lifetime experience for its attendees, as it did for us, then you know something unique is happening in Greenville, South Carolina. This year’s event show-cased, passion, commitment, striving for excellence, having fun, creative thinking, and the will to overcome all obstacles and win.

For entrepreneurs like us, it has already provided innovative marketing opportunities as well as important business connections that have already changed the course and trajectory of our business. Finally, and maybe in the grand scheme of things and just as important, we were fortunate to have made several friendships along the way. Chris, Brandi, we know that saying thank you for all you have done does not begin to express how we feel about you two and the Pitch the Pros event but please know you are appreciated. Continued success and whatever you need we are a call or text away.

Dear Fellow Entrepreneurs, This is the event for you! Whether you’re just starting out or have already launched, Pitch to the Pros is a true game

changer. The people you meet come from all over, bringing a wide range of experience that can

help guide you through every step of your entrepreneurial journey.

Having attended pitch events for major corporations in the past, one thing that really stood out

to me about Pitch to the Pros was how fun it was. The entire time, you’re connecting with

others—talking, laughing—and the strangers you meet will quickly become friends.

Pitch to the Pros with The Modern Inventor truly hits a home run with their events. They

genuinely want you to succeed!

The connections I made have opened so many doors for my business. Thank you to Brandi and

Chris for giving me the boost my entrepreneurial journey needed!
