VALATIE, NY, April 06, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Christopher Mabry has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Mr. Mabry is currently Head of Community at Iris AI, an AI-Native RFP and Proposal Management platform, a role he began in 2026. In this capacity, he builds and activates the professional ecosystem around one of the fastest-growing tools in the AI space, connecting solutions engineers, proposal managers, and revenue leaders through events, content, and strategic programming. His work spans community building, competitive intelligence, partner development, and go-to-market support, making him one of a small but emerging class of professionals who sit at the crossroads of community strategy and B2B revenue.
He additionally serves as a strategic advisor to community and B2B SaaS organizations, lending his expertise in community-led growth, executive operations, and early-stage company building, including fundraising strategy and operational infrastructure for technology startups.
From 2024 to 2026, Mr. Mabry served as Vice President of Solutions and Partnerships at Reprise, a leading demo experience platform. There he built strategic alliances and shaped the company's partnership architecture during a pivotal period of market expansion for the presales technology category.
One chapter of Mr. Mabry's career stands apart as a defining test of leadership. From 2023 to 2024, he served as General Manager of PreSales Collective, the largest professional community for solutions engineers and presales practitioners in the world. Stepping into the role during a critical inflection point for the organization, Mr. Mabry moved quickly and decisively, doubling the community's size, restoring profitability, and guiding a thoughtful leadership transition that set the organization on firm footing for the future. The feat is notable not just for the outcomes, but for how he approached it, with transparency, care for the community's members, and an instinct for what professionals in transition actually need. That experience now informs everything he builds.
Prior to his community leadership roles, Mr. Mabry spent over a decade in the solutions engineering field itself, then he progressed through a series of increasingly senior roles from 2021 to 2023, including Manager of Solutions Engineering for East America, and a role focused specifically on new customer acquisition within the business continuity segment at Datto. Here is where he found his passion for community. Starting as a speaker and ambassador for PreSales Collective in 2023, then leading into his opportunity to be the face of the industry. That foundation, hands-on infrastructure work built up over years before anyone called it "presales," is part of what gives Mr. Mabry uncommon credibility in the communities he now serves. He knows the work from the inside out.
What drives Mr. Mabry, by his own account, is a genuine curiosity about people, what they need, what is holding them back, and how the right room, the right conversation, or the right resource can change someone's trajectory. That orientation has made his professional events notoriously welcoming and his community programming unusually sticky. He is known across the SE and presales world as someone who creates platforms for others rather than hoarding the spotlight himself.
Born in Bakersfield, California, and now based in the Hudson Valley of New York, Mr. Mabry balances a demanding professional life with a commitment to personal renewal, including time on two wheels, with a chainsaw renovating property, and a deep investment in helping talented people find their footing in an industry that doesn't always make it easy.
Looking ahead, he remains focused on the intersection of AI, community, and professional development, building durable ecosystems that outlast any single product cycle, and elevating the practitioners who make modern revenue teams actually work.
