Chris was an outstanding leader on our Client Services team at Sitewise Analytics. As the Director of Client Services, I directly managed him for nearly 3 years and saw his growth from day one to become one of our best product experts and trusted advisors. Chris is mature beyond his years, and I can’t wait to see him continue his already successful career. While working with us he oversaw some of our largest client relationships while leading junior analysts to deliver on successful implementation projects. I’ve never seen Chris make it through a conversation without a smile, and his daily attitude at the office and approach to building relationships are second to none. I would welcome Chris back to work with me in a heartbeat and recommend him to any organization as a driven, process-minded, and empathetic collaborator.
