Chris Pace

Founder and CEO
Centre Technologies

Early in his career, Chris gained experience with technology companies focused on the ideology of being a Value-Added Reseller (VAR) and Managed Service Provider (MSP). Where one company lacked strategic partnerships, the other lacked experienced consultants. Chris believed expertise and partnerships were critical for relieving everyday business challenges and fueling long-term growth. He coined his business model as Value-Added Partner (VAP), positioning his company as a trusted business partner, not just a reseller. This value included strategic business planning, tailored solutions, consistent delivery, and dedicated support after implementation.  

Upon founding Centre Technologies, Chris sought to change how prospective customers invest in technology. Instead of simply purchasing a new IT product, he encouraged businesses to implement a layered and sustainable solution designed to exceed their business goals.
