Four Decades of Building with Intention

Chris Masiello has spent more than four decades building and leading businesses across real estate, financial services, and private capital. He serves as Chairman of The Masiello Group — one of Northern New England's most respected real estate and homeownership services companies — and as Chairman and Trustee of MFC Investco, the Masiello family's private investment platform focused on long-term capital stewardship and philanthropy.

A USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and Amazon bestselling author, Chris writes about leadership, personal growth, and navigating change with intention. His books have reached readers around the world, and his work has been featured by ABC affiliates, the Wall Street Journal, and other regional and national outlets.

The Person Behind the Work

Outside of work, Chris is committed to physical fitness and the practices he writes about — including meditation, mindfulness, and Reiki. He is an avid historian and finds his greatest joy spending time with his two daughters and their families.

What matters most to Chris isn't the recognition, it's the impact. On the businesses he's built, the people he's led, and the readers who've found something useful in his work.

What He Writes About

Chris's writing began as a simple gesture — short weekly notes to his team to help them navigate the uncertainty of the pandemic. Those notes became Mindful Mondays, a WSJ bestselling book of 52 short chapters, each built around a single idea, a story, and a question worth sitting with.

His follow-up, Change: Short & Simple, distills four decades of leading through transformation into practical frameworks for navigating change at any scale — personal, professional, or organizational.

Together, his books share one through-line: how to lead well, grow deliberately, and build something that lasts.
