Bio
Mark Foley
I recruited Chris as Major Accounts Manager to drive origination into both the professional services consultancy business and the SaaS platform. Chris brought with him a wealth of knowledge from his previous role as well as a great can do outlook. Chris's positivity, tenacity, drive and determination to succeed shows through not only in his work ethic, but also in his approach to his career. In addition to being fully committed to his role, he studied for both a degree and professional qualifications. Chris's constant desire to learn new skill sets, his ability to open doors and interact with new prospects showcase his professionalism, as well as his attitude and aptitude. A pleasure to work with and great support in a team environment, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chris to enhance and strengthen any team.

Chris worked directly for me during my time as Sales Manager at Alcumus. Along with dedication, determination and drive he also brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to the team. In his position as Technical Business Development Executive, Chris’ structured approach and tenacity proved to be invaluable opening doors and during early discussions with new prospects. Frequently looking for ways to learn new skill sets and consistently striving to improve, Chris’s desire and determination to succeed made him a positive force to work with. I would have no hesitation recommending Chris as a valuable asset to any team. Chris is a genuinely nice guy and I wish him every success moving forward.

Had only just joined Alcumus and Christopher showed great leadership, along with building an early rapport with myself and other new team members. He taught in a patient manner, and assisted me in exceeding my targets during my first month at the company.
