Having been on Startup Laurier for 3 years, I learned the most when I was working directly with Chris. He taught me how to be an effective manager and leader. We are both people who like things done our own way, but as Co-Presidents, we had to adapt and strategize how we could work together and lead our team to achieve Startup Laurier's mission. Chris taught me, as well as other student leaders of the Lazaridis School, that letting go of things you want to control and do yourself was not our job as Presidents. We were there to lead our executive team to success, but measuring it in a way which they were able to learn, grow, and have control of their team and their own role(s). Chris wanted to ensure every single one of our executives was enjoying their work, was happy with their role, and was getting value from their experiences at Startup Laurier. As Co-Presidents, we were simply there to support, guide, and inspire our executive team, and help them when they needed us. Our Vice Presidents were the leaders of their respected portfolios and we were not going to take over and do their job for them. These entrepreneurial and leadership skills, to "let go" has Chris Clark's name written all over it. Chris is a dedicated leader who exuded passion to Startup Laurier, the Waterloo Region startup scene, and fostering entrepreneurship at Laurier. I just know he will have success in his future endeavours and will always bring new and innovative ideas to the table. Working with Chris has been an absolute pleasure and I would definitely do it again.

Working with Chris was an absolute pleasure. He displayed initiative from the first day he joined the team, planning two of our largest, most successful events of the year. Chris strategically challenged the norm and changed the format of our events, persuading me to agree with his decisions in the process. I am extremely happy I did, as our largest event of the term (Entrepreneur’s Exchange) had a record breaking attendance of over 150 people (an increase of over 100 people from the previous year). Another of our events (Startup Consulting Competition) was at maximum capacity and executed seamlessly. Chris takes ownership of projects, is able to creatively brainstorm ideas, coordinate necessary logistics, and implements them flawlessly. He has my highest recommendation and will be a strategic asset to any team.
