Bio
Christopher Stipp
One of the best compliments I can pay anyone whom I've worked with is answering the question: Would you work with this person? Unequivocally, I can say I would in a heartbeat with Justin. He was truly collaborative in the way he approached any ask I came to him with and, uniquely, always asked questions of what I wanted to achieve with his assistance. From being thorough with the legal reviews he did of any contract I put in front of him or pressing back gently when he couldn't abide with something within that contract, he always did so out of concern for not just the company but for me, the person ultimately signing on the bottom line. I genuinely appreciated all the work and insight he provided me.
