“Chris is a phenomenal leader who inspires greatness and gets the best out of his team. His passion for excellence is contagious and inspiring to those working in close proximity. Even while occupying positions of significant authority, Chris leads with not only confidence and resilience but also a humility that earns respect from the team. His strategic vision is always 5 steps ahead and one of the most important lessons I learned working closely with Chris was to always be ahead of the curve with vision and strategy. He is extremely smart, talented and analytical. Any organization would benefit from Chris' leadership.”
