Chris will be an asset to any organization looking to level up their teams and crush their goals!", "Chris had a really big impact on my sales methodology and is a big part of what makes me successful in this field having had no experience with it previously! I know he’ll keep being the incredible mentor he was for me and hope his team knows what a great leader they have.", and "Over three years ago Shift4 was acquired by a processor and in doing so, we became Shift4 Payments. In response of this, I needed to find a payments industry expert to help me build and transition our team from gateway-only knowledge to full acquiring; as well as growing and educating ISV partners on the new Shift4 offering. In my search, I was introduced to Chris Bjork, who in short, was the perfect candidate for the position. His proven experience in building and managing a successful sales team from the ground up; as well as scaling that group for growth was invaluable to me. In addition, Chris had tremendous leadership success in creating and growing a partner centric model that had provided measurable results. For years, we worked tirelessly side by side in effecting needed change. As we grew with repeated success, I transitioned to heading our Enterprise team which enabled Chris to solely leading our efforts in business development as the VP of Sales & Integrated Partnerships. I could not have asked for a better person and leader to spearhead those efforts. Chris had a natural ability of managing a sales team and driving those individuals to optimal performance levels. This in turn garnered respect, trust, and admiration from said team all while driving them towards desired results. It has been a privilege working with and alongside Chris beyond what I have expressed professionally as I also consider him a great friend."
