Christopher Frye

25 years and hundreds of research projects, all built on the same idea: turn assumptions into evidence that holds up when a real decision is riding on it. I lead market research, evaluation, and consulting across energy, utilities, technology, and the public sector—managing client relationships, building and mentoring high-performing teams, and turning complex data into insights that drive strategic and operational improvements. I’m known for cross-functional collaboration and delivering innovative, client-focused solutions.

My work blends hands-on analysis with scalable processes — from study design and data collection through dashboards, reporting, and stakeholder coordination — turning complex findings into recommendations clients can act on. That’s included energy efficiency program evaluations for utilities, a $4M annual research portfolio serving a network of 140+ electric and gas utilities, market studies for global NGOs spanning 30+ countries, and multi-phase research initiatives with international reach. The focus throughout is the same: practical results and measurable value, not research for its own sake.
