ABOUT ME

Thanks for visiting!
My name is Christopher Freeze. My mission is to help you create an environment where people thrive, performance increases, and employee and organizational well-being is the goal.
I spent most of my professional career (23 years) as a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). During my time with the FBI, I investigated criminal, cyber, and national security crimes.
I spent most of the last three years of my career leading the FBI office in Mississippi. In this role, I served as the Special Agent in Charge and was responsible for all the FBI’s operations in Mississippi. While serving the American people and upholding the Consitution of the United States, I learned that the most important factor in our success was one thing: leadership.
After retiring in 2019, I was appointed as the Executive Director of the Mississippi Department of Human Services (MDHS) by former Governor Phil Bryant to run MDHS during the last year of his tenure. At MDHS, I oversaw an agency responsible for providing a wide range of public assistance to children and families throughout Mississippi. The most important thing in our success? Leadership.

“I am confident Christopher Freeze will do a great job leading MDHS,” Gov. Phil Bryant said. “His intellect and leadership experience as a Special Agent in Charge at the FBI makes him an excellent fit to guide the agency during this period of transition. I am grateful he has accepted this appointment.”

Early in my career, I was not an effective leader, manager, or supervisor. In fact, I’m surprised that I wasn’t asked to “look for something else to do.”
I didn't want to fail so I started studying leadership principles, and, unlike a lot of people, started practicing those principles.
Looking back on my life, I realize that we all need leaders who really understand what people deal with both at home and at the office.
My mission is to boost your knowledge and confidence in being a more effective leader.
I want to help you succeed.
I want you to be the hope-centered and trust leader everyone wants to work with.

"When most people of think of 'FBI executive," the stereotype that comes to mind isn't smiling, affable, or understanding of business realities, but with our audience, Chris was all those. I gladly recommend Chris to others who need an entertaining speaker about business cooperation with law enforcement."
