Chrissy is one of those rare "do anything, no task is too big" types of professionals. Her dedication, talents and passion for communications makes her an asset to any team and/or organization, and I greatly enjoyed working with her as we navigated the often-turbulent waters of a global merger. I know she will go far in her career and would relish the chance to work with her again in the future.
