Bio
Benjamin Charbit
I had the opportunity to work closely with Christopher at Darewise Entertainment, where he served as the Head of Community. Under his guidance, our online community for Life Beyond flourished, growing both in numbers and engagement. His leadership skills are evident, not only in the performance metrics but also in the morale of his team. Christopher has a nuanced understanding of both strategy and execution. He knows how to set ambitious yet achievable KPIs and guide his team toward them. His ability to marry data-driven insights with a deep understanding of human behavior is a unique asset that has consistently propelled our community initiatives forward. Perhaps most impressively, Christopher is a team-builder. He knows how to inspire, guide, and give constructive feedback that elevates the work of everyone around him. He leaves big shoes to fill at Darewise, and I have every confidence that he'll continue to excel in his next chapter. I highly recommend Christopher for any role requiring strong leadership and expertise in community management.
