Chris is absolutely qualified and skilled professional in a field of marketing analytics. I had a pleasure to work with him on various projects where he demonstrated deep expertise in all the sides of marketing analysis. This starts from assessment of daily marketing metrics and continues by development of global analytics and standardization strategy. Chris has strong knowledge of various services like Google Analytics or Adobe Analytics etc. and ability to train people to use these tools. I can also recommend Chris as absolutely reliable and responsive colleague, who is willing to help and work together on common business goals.
