Chris is one of the most competent and effective individuals I've ever worked with. We've partnered on some complex cross-functional projects over the last couple of years. I always enjoy tackling problems with Chris. He approaches challenges with persistence, logic, and a willingness to take risks. I appreciate that he can flex between ideation and operationalizing, depending on the team or business need. Not only is Chris smart and hardworking, he also exercises excellent judgement in people situations and he is an absolute delight to work with. I would jump at the opportunity to work closely with Chris again!
