International Business Leader, Real Estate Entrepreneur, and Founder of Group of Nations
Chris Atkins is a dynamic entrepreneur and global thought leader whose career spans international policy, summit publishing, and real estate. As President and Founder of Group of Nations (GON), Chris has spent nearly three decades at the forefront of global policy communication, while also building a respected presence in Utah’s real estate market through SV Realty Group and Broker LRG Collective. His professional journey is defined by a passion for connection—whether uniting world leaders at summits or helping families and investors find their place in Utah’s communities.
A Vision for Global Impact
Chris’s story began in 1997, when he launched Group of Nations to bridge government, business, and civil society. Over 28 years, he has grown GON into the official and longest-serving publisher for the G7, G20, B20, and COP summits, delivering exclusive insights and briefing reports to decision-makers worldwide. Under his leadership, GON has earned a reputation for reliability and influence in international policy circles.
Entrepreneurship in Real Estate: SV Realty Group
Chris entered real estate four years ago, joining SV Realty Group in Salt Lake City. Driven to serve his community, he brought his integrity and client-first mindset to Utah’s growing property market. SV Realty Group has become a trusted partner for buyers, sellers, and investors, with Chris guiding clients from first-time purchases to complex investment deals. For him, real estate is more than business—it reflects his values of community, transparency, and helping people achieve their dreams.
Leadership, Team Building, and Client Service
At Group of Nations, Chris manages a lean team of four, personally overseeing business development, content strategy, and client engagement. At SV Realty Group, he fosters a culture of collaboration, continuous learning, and client satisfaction. His leadership is grounded in empathy, adaptability, and a pursuit of excellence, with high rates of repeat clients and referrals as proof of trust and value.
Personal Values and Resilience
Chris is committed to habits that support well-being—meditation, hydration, sleep, and regular exercise. His wife, Jennifer Latchman Atkins, has been a source of inspiration and strength, especially following her breast cancer diagnosis in 2024. This experience deepened his empathy, reinforced his commitment to family, and renewed his determination to make a difference.
A Legacy of Connection and Contribution
Looking ahead, Chris is focused on expanding his client base, deepening community ties, and helping more Utah residents achieve their real estate goals. His legacy is one of connection—bringing together world leaders to solve global problems and helping people in his local community find their place.
In His Own Words
“I believe that real leadership is about service—whether you’re advising a Fortune 500 CEO at a G20 summit or helping a young family buy their first home. It’s about listening, building trust, and always striving to do what’s right for your clients and your community. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished at Group of Nations and SV Realty Group, and I’m even more excited for what’s ahead.
