Bio
Neil Davies
I have worked with Chris on numerous Value Added projects, with excellent results. He takes the time to understand the project and often delivers beyond my expectations. I would never have to follow up on requests for analysis from Chris as he consistently met his deadlines. I would highly recommend Chris for any of your pricing analysis needs or any data analyses and tool development.
