Bio
Brion Cummings
I have worked with Chris during his roles in both Claims and Product Management. He has always been a great partner in not only identifying issues, but also recommending solutions to avoid the issues going forward. These experiences included Michigan, which was a very challenging claims environment, as well as Maryland, which due to its regulatory environment, presented many challenges for a product manager.
Dan Gordon
I’ve been lucky to have had Chris work for me multiple times during our careers. Chris is an exceptional insurance professional and one of the most self-motivated people I know. He is extremely versatile and, from my personal experience, extremely knowledgeable as well. I admire how Chris establishes authority to get people on board with his new ideas, even if the other team members were initially on a completely different page. Chris is one of the greatest assets on my team and thrives at anything he does.
