Meet the Leadership Team
Jessi Bixler
Founder & Fractional CMO
Strategic growth isn't just about algorithms; it’s about the stories we tell and the systems we build to support them. With over two decades of experience in digital marketing and a background rooted in interactive media and advertising sales at the Kansas City Business Journal, Jessi has spent her career helping businesses move beyond noise to find true authority.
Jessi approaches marketing as Revenue Infrastructure. She doesn't just execute campaigns; she steers the ship, ensuring every digital initiative is intentional, agile, and aligned with a business’s specific North Star. Her strength lies in bridge-building; connecting a company's past successes with the modern technology required to scale them.
Beyond the Boardroom
Jessi’s leadership is defined by a belief in the power of resilience and human connection. As the author of The Story We Share, she travels and speaks to various audiences on the importance of showing up for difficult conversations and the unspoken effects of trauma. Her extensive advocacy work—including serving as Board Chair for MOCSA—reflects her core philosophy: whether in life or business, sustainable growth requires immersion, candor, and the courage to share an authentic story.
When she isn’t steering strategy for her clients, you can find Jessi traveling the world, seeking out amazing food, or spending time with her family, living out her belief that life is too short not to savor the journey with those you love.
Chad Bixler
Chief Growth Officer
Growth is more than just a metric; it’s the result of human connection and disciplined systems. As Chief Growth Officer, Chad brings over two decades of high-level sales expertise to Bixler Consulting. Since beginning his career in 2004, he has successfully transitioned from the high-stakes world of life insurance to building and scaling his own multi-million dollar organization within the medical billing sector.
Chad’s core strength lies in his ability to listen. While many in growth roles focus solely on the pitch, Chad focuses on the person. He has a unique ability to make stakeholders from all walks of life feel seen, heard, and understood. Within the Bixler Consulting ecosystem, he ensures that marketing initiatives are backed by a robust sales infrastructure, turning interest into relationship-driven growth.
The Heart of Growth
An entrepreneur at heart, Chad is a lifelong student of human behavior, faith, and technology. Whether he is reading about empathy-driven sales or the latest in growth tech, his goal remains the same: to build systems that allow businesses to scale with integrity.
Chad’s commitment to advocacy and service is deeply personal. Beyond his role as a Deacon at his local church, he was an integral partner in the authorship of The Story We Share and remains a steadfast advocate for sexual assault survivors. For Chad, "taking people along for the ride" means ensuring that everyone—from the client to the community—benefits from the success they build together.
When he isn’t optimizing revenue systems, Chad can be found on the racquetball court or golf course, walking outdoors, or traveling with his family.
