About

Where the factory floor
meets the full stack

Most consultants live in one world. Chris Slagle operates in two. With a decade of leadership in process engineering and automation for Tier 1 automotive suppliers — plus hands-on FANUC robotics certification — he brings the rare ability to architect both the physical and digital systems that modern businesses need.

As VP of Process Solutions at Gardner Controls, COO at WantAmmo, and co-founder of RallyPantry, Chris has led projects from concept through production across manufacturing, e-commerce, fundraising, and beyond. Every engagement benefits from this cross-domain perspective.

The result? Solutions that don't just work in a demo — they survive first contact with real users, real data, and real production environments.
