“Few people have the opportunity to report to a manager who is also a genuinely great person and mentor—but I did when I worked for Chris. Chris helped me grow as an employee when I reported to him as a Business Analyst for his portfolio at IBM. He constantly answered my multitude of questions with a smile and positive attitude. As a manager he acted not only as someone to provide direction and leadership, but also as a team player - always willing to get his hands 'dirty' himself and helping the 'troops' with the task at hand. I was particularly impressed by Chris' ability to handle even the toughest clients—effortlessly. A skill that is extremely tough to master, but it seemed to come perfectly naturally to him. Any individual who has the privilege of working with Chris would be lucky. ”
