Ana deAlvaré
I worked with Chad on a variety of early stage client relationships, some smooth sailing while others were massively challenging. In addition, he has an entire book of business beyond those clients to juggle at the same time. Chad puts in the extra miles to ensure he is a clear advocate for the clients while giving all internal teams his support and analysis to ensure all parties are aligned for success. Passionate and warm in his communication style, he is a great addition to any Client Success / Services Management team.
