Bio
Curt Coulter
Chris is an exceptional technology leader that inspires people to do their best work, challenges them to innovate, and helps them to achieve results previously unattainable. He earns respect and builds strong, lasting relationships with his teams using open and honest communication. Chris proposed, established buy-in, and enthusiastically championed our pivotal transformation to Lean/Agile software development. His steady and stable leadership during the 7 years I reported to him at CBORD was a huge benefit to the company, my team, and to me personally. Chris has my highest respect, and he will earn yours too.
J. Jordan Thaeler
I was heartbroken to lose working alongside Chris when he departed Partech. Chris is one of the exceptions who has been around the space long enough to know how it all works, but not so long that he doesn't know what's required to stay competitive. Chris was a champion at driving next-level innovation in an industry very much starved of it. He's the commensurate professional: open, honest, responsive and hard-working. He's an executive who's not afraid to listen to new ideas and always looking for ways to do things better. How rare in any industry.
