Bio
Larry Sellers
Chris worked for me in the role of Branch Automation Sales Specialist for 6 years at Glory Global Solutions and was an important part of our evolving solution-focused sales team. Chris has the ultimate "go-getter" business acumen as well as the patience to execute complex projects and deals. He is a strong asset in the business development space and adept at managing the full sales cycle. He possesses drive and tenacity that many people do not but most importantly, he establishes terrific relationships with his clients/partners, co-workers and peers. He is a team player that understands the big picture and aggressively strives for results, while at the same time being enjoyable to work with. I regard Chris as a true professional in the financial technology sector and I gladly endorse his knowledge, experience, strengths and recommend Chris to any prospective employer as a sales professional and to any company looking for a trusted business partner.

In the 12 years I've known Chris, he had his finger on the pulse of my business and was quick to offer intelligent solutions for physical cash handling and all our cash sorter needs. From hardware to software integration, he went above the call of duty to ensure we were informed, holding the leading edge and comfortable from a tech standpoint. Chris offered metrics, analytics and time studies where other vendors could not measure up. I am happy to call him a trusted business adviser and friend.
