Chris is an first-rate team player. He is collaborative, keeping everyone on track to deliver the goal. He has excellent command of the result-driving details while never forgetting the big picture. He delivers the functional work that the overall team needs for success, and holds other members accountable to do the same. If the work is important and the task complex, Chris is the person I want on my team.

Chris is a terrific asset to any team. He is detail-oriented, informed and informative, practical and thoughtful in addressing business issues, all with a warm, approachable personality that makes working with him a pleasure. Chris also has a lot of experience to draw from--whether from a manufacturing plant or a business environment, or from different company cultures--he brings valuable perspective to the table, often providing insight to what others may be thinking or feeling. Chris' business acumen coupled with emotional intelligence make him a very strong leader and contributor to any business venture.
