I have had the opportunity to work with Chris in a number of different teams and companies throughout our careers in IT. In each instance I have been impressed with Chris' ability to effectively communicate with customers, deliver results, and motivate others around him to work to his high standards in an effort to exceed customer expectation. Chris would be a valuable addition to any hiring managers team.

Chris illustrated his diversity as a leader by managing 3 key teams within the Service Centre; Major Incident Management, 24x7, and Problem Management. He has depth and breadth of knowledge of the ITIL framework, and played a major role in transforming the performance of the KAZ-Fujitsu Service Centre. Chris is a pleasure to work with; he just gets on with the job no matter how difficult the challenge, he brings a calmness to stressful situations, and will always remain positive throughout those tough times!
