When I hired Cristy at Cxense, I was looking for someone with strengths both in technology and business - someone who could own and develop customer relationships and also guide technical teams in adoption and utilization of our products. Cristy's performance exceeded my expectations in both regards. During our time working together, Cristy took responsibility for some of our most troubled accounts, and her work directly led to their continued use of our platform. Cristy's mastery of organization, communication, relationship, and technical skills is a rare talent, and I am confident she will be an invaluable contributor at any company.
