Andrew Maltsev
I am writing this letter to provide a strong recommendation for Chris, a former manager whom I had the pleasure of working under for a significant period. Chris's exceptional leadership skills, professionalism, and dedication to excellence make him an outstanding candidate for any managerial role. While working with Chris, I was consistently impressed by their ability to lead and inspire our team effectively. His strong strategic thinking and decision-making abilities ensured that projects were completed successfully and within established timelines. Chris was excellent at defining clear objectives and setting high standards for the team, motivating us to strive for excellence and achieve exceptional results. Chris's communication skills are exemplary. He has a natural ability to convey complex ideas clearly and concisely, ensuring team members are well-informed and aligned with organizational goals. Additionally, Chris actively listened to the concerns and feedback of team members, fostering an inclusive and collaborative work environment. One of Chris's greatest strengths lies in his aptitude for building and nurturing relationships. He demonstrated an exceptional ability to connect with team members at all levels, earning their trust and respect. Chris's approachability, empathy, and genuine interest in the well-being and professional development of the team members contributed to a positive and cohesive team dynamic. Furthermore, Chris consistently displayed exceptional organizational and time management skills. He effectively prioritized tasks, managed resources efficiently, and maintained a strong focus on delivering high-quality results. Under Chris's leadership, our team successfully met challenging deadlines and had outstanding outcomes for our clients and stakeholders. In addition to their managerial skills, Chris consistently displayed high integrity and ethical conduct. He always demonstrated a solid commitment to upholding professional standards and promoting a culture of fairness and respect within the team. Chris's leadership style not only fostered a positive work environment but also served as an inspiration to colleagues, setting a benchmark for professionalism and ethical behavior. In summary, I am confident in Chris's ability to excel in any managerial position. His leadership skills, effective communication, and commitment to excellence make him a standout candidate. I recommend Chris for any administrative role and believe he will significantly contribute to the success of any organization. Andrew M.

Very rarely in the course of ones career does one get the opportunity to work with and for someone who is as intellectually and emotionally intelligent as Chris. He is a fantastic people manager. He is empathetic, strategic, a great educator, and has a really strong eye for product. I learned so much from him in the 6 months that we worked together, and the skills I've learned have in turn helped me to create some great products. I watched him skillfully juggle a portfolio of complex projects, while managing the entire US product team, and execute both deftly. I appreciated working with him and if you're reading this, I guarantee you will too.
