A leader has many different attributes that make them unique. Chris has a blend of unique attributes, but the one I admire the most is his ability to lead in a diverse audience. If colleagues or coworkers have ever scene Chris give a presentation, they relate to what I'm expressing. He has an amazing ability to control his audience and deliver a value proposition. Working indirectly with Chris, I feel he employs General Electrics strategic thinking while leading an organization. Thinking at the micro & macro level are strong points that he has obtained by leading and growing sales and busdev organizations. Highly recommend Chris to lead an organization from infancy to maturity levels. Best of luck Chris, I hope our professional paths meet again.
