CHRIS BALL
Managing Director
CriticalPoint
Chris Ball has spent more than 25 years at the intersection of investment banking, business management, and product development — building a career defined by one consistent mission: helping entrepreneurs maximize the value of what they have built.
At CriticalPoint, Ball sources and executes sell-side mergers and acquisitions, working directly with business owners to structure transactions that reflect the true strategic and financial value of their companies. That work requires not only technical deal expertise, but the ability to earn the trust of founders who are often making the most consequential financial decision of their lives. Ball’s background equips him to do both. Over a 25-year career, Ball has built something genuinely valuable: a professional life that bridges engineering, operations, entrepreneurship, and investment banking.
