Denise Gardner

Chris' attention to details combined with his technical skills were frequently key to speedy resolution of software issues and improvements down the line. He was a trusted "go-to" supervisor as far as deep diving to identify root-causes. Chris also was an effective leader who could be counted on to steer his team through stressful launches and pilots, often rolling up his sleeves and always leading by example. Chris has a bright future ahead of him!

Over the years, Chris has become one of my go-to resources when it comes to providing supervisor-level support and service delivery insights to key accounts. Not only does he give credible technical expertise, he goes above and beyond to support our clients' demands in a timely, thorough and professional manner. Chris is also a huge supporter of the team he supervises and does a great job sharing their feedback. He is constantly approaching us with recommendations to improve our program offerings and customer experience and has personally won my support on several occasions.
