Bio
Shai Blanding
Remarkably valuable is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Christian. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Christian for two years, during which he trained and helped me transition from executive assistant to sales planner. Above all, I am impressed with Christian’s ability to patiently and skillfully work with colleagues and seize teachable moments to improve business objectives and efficiencies. In addition, Christian helps me create a framework and work ethic that has contribute to my successes. And, of course, he conducts himself in a professional manner with a constant radiant smile on his face. Christian is a true asset for his communication skills, relationship building capabilities and service as a brand ambassador/extension for the company. He is a true team player and earns my highest recommendation.

Christian is a leader at his craft. His meticulous attention to detail, thoroughness, and dedication is second-to-none. I was honored to work alongside him at ALPFA in the marketing department as he was always a team player, innovative, and full of fresh ideas to implement. It is not often I come across such an ambitious and committed professional and Christian certainly transcends the status quo. He would be a genuine asset to any organization, with his warm spirit, positive get-it-done attitude, and creative desire to think outside the box and drive a bottom-line impact.
