Bio
Morounfola Odebode
Chris Booth was my IT Manager and team lead in Fujitsu Australia. He is one of only a handful of people I look to for leadership in the field of IT, performance measurement, and team management. While on Chris' team on the SAP project, Chris demonstrated to be a team player who carries all in the team along and takes ownership of his duties as the lead. Chris is also one of the most motivating and productive people I know. He is very versatile in IT, and I learned a great deal from Chris during the time he was my team lead. I enthusiastically recommend him to anyone who is looking for one of the most outstanding experts in the information technology industry.
