Chris Garnett, Partner MD Joins Us

The Fall 2026 Robins Entrepreneur Series rolls on — and next up, we've got a marketing and growth leader who knows how to build a brand from the inside out. Join us in-person or on Zoom Webinar.

Chris Garnett, Chief Marketing & Sales Officer at PartnerMD — joining us Friday, September 4th.

Chris brings 27+ years of marketing and leadership experience across some of the biggest names in their fields. He spent 15+ years at Capital One, then carried that growth playbook into healthcare — as VP of Segment Marketing at McKesson and Chief Marketing Officer at Millennia — before landing at PartnerMD.

Across all of it, he's built and led teams spanning research, marketing strategy, value proposition, integrated campaigns, lead generation, and sales enablement. His throughline? A genuine passion for the customer, and a knack for finding inventive ways to meet their needs with products and marketing that actually land.

For anyone wondering how brands really get built and businesses really grow, this is the conversation to be in.
