Chris is an excellent manager who I learned a great deal from. He has a strong analytical mindset, great eye for creative design and most importantly, prioritizes the success, development and well being of his teams. One of the things I admire most about Chris is how much he cares about helping everyone succeed. Working for Chris helped me become a stronger leader and I will always value the time we spent working together.

I came to American Express to work for Chris nearly five years ago and followed him to another position three years later. Chris is a fantastic leader and an exceptional marketer. He is strategic, innovative, analytical and energetic. I have learned a tremendous amount while working for him!
