Christopher Parisi

Chris founded the RI Small Business Coalition during the height of the pandemic in 2020, offering a solution to many small businesses that did not have a voice. It led to tens of millions of grants getting released to local small businesses, and continued to advocate, fight, and support our community. He is a small business owner himself, as the Founder & CEO of Trailblaze Marketing, an AI-powered marketing firm, and host of the AI Wave Podcast. In addition to that, he is the Vice President on the Board of Millennial RI and involved in local startup communities. Outside of his professional life, his passion is spending time with his 2 year old son Cayden and wife Megan.
