Bio
Andrew Pink
I worked closely with Chris when at Tealim as VP of Enterprise Sales and can confidently vouch for his enthusiasm, drive and capabilities as a consummate sales professional with excellent leadership qualities and people skills. I saw Chris demonstrate remarkable leadership capability by setting clear goals, formulating effective strategies, and fostering collaboration between the various departments to create a successful sales unit. His motivational approach empowered the team and drove them to succeed. He is very personable, which showed in his ability to create a cohesive enterprise team from scratch when I joined the company and inspired continuous growth and learning within it. Overall, he is a standout leader, and I would love to work with him again.

Rarely in my career have I worked with such a talented sales leader. Chris has a wealth of experience and is incredibly versatile. Because of this he manages to support a large cross regional sales teams to close enterprise deals across many verticals. He is also caring and compassionate always supporting the professional and personal development of his teams. He is an incredible negotiator commercially and someone who is committed to closing deals. I valued his direction, advice and work ethic and hope to work with him again one day.
