Craig is one of the most committed and creative client service associates I have worked with. He goes above and beyond in anticipating client needs, advising them on the best way forward, and proactively anticipating and addressing barriers to smooth delivery. We worked on a hugely challenging project with unique internal and external complications, and having Craig on the team was a real boon.
