Bio
Tunde Karacsony
Chris is a very understanding and supportive boss. It was such a pleasure to report to him. I learnt a lot to him in the area of communication, managing risks besides financial and accounting matters.
Greg Brinks
Chris worked for me as Director, Strategic European ABS Initiatives. Chris is a very smart, professional executive. His assignment in securitization was a departure from his background in financial accounting and controls, yet he was able to build on the knowledge of securitization that he developed in his prior roles to lead and put together a couple of complicated lease securitization deals. He is a tough negotiator, but remains pleasant and professional in all interactions. His abilities to communicate clearly, both orally and in writing, are among the best I've encountered among colleagues. I highly recommend Chris for an executive financial role.
