Bio
Jenn Lucero
I had the pleasure of working with Chris at Premera as part of the Operations leadership team. I am most impressed with the way in which she holds herself as a leader. She displays a calm professionalism and offers a strong business approach to influence change. Chris drives performance/improvement results from her demonstration of values and expectations; inspires in others to lead the same. Any organization would highly benefit from having Chris on their team.
Laureen Retzer, SPHR, SHRM-SCP
Chris participated in a high-potential leadership program where I was her leadership coach. Chris has strong leadership skills and is skilled in pivoting between strategy and the tactics involved when dealing with complex situations. Chris is the epitome of an effective leader that can influence groups without needing to be the "loudest voice in the room." Chris has great insight and a calming presence particularly in stressful, deadline driven situations. I appreciate Chris's passion for learning and the importance she plays on coaching and mentoring as a leader and as a "student" of continuous learning and development. Any organization would highly benefit from having Chris on their team.
