Colleagues describe them as "Chris was forward thinking, pro active and an absolute dream to manage. He was great at identifying people’s individual needs, whilst seeing the bigger picture, which is key when working in finance. Most importantly he had the character and personality to go with it. I would personally recommend him for any senior position in finance." and "Working with and managing Chris was a pleasure since he joined Fresenius, until I left the organisation. Chris understood the organisation very quickly and established close relationships with his stakeholders. Those relationships allowed Chris to add real commercial value to the organisation, through understanding the needs of sales people in the field with regards to information, analysis and insight into the performance of their areas. Chris has exceptional technical skills in terms of systems. He very quickly understood how to use systems that he had not used before and was able to impart that knowledge gained to others, some of whom had been with the organisation for a number of years. This is testament to the tenacity of Chris - once he starts looking into something, he will not stop until he has the answer - no matter how many people he needs to talk to to get that answer or how many hoops he has to jump through. Chris always completed his work to a high standard and more than that, frequently suggested ways in which processes and reporting could be improved to aid colleagues both within and outside of Finance. Chris was also instrumental in the budgeting and forecasting processes, obtaining information from stakeholders and converting that into meaningful financial data and communicating efficiently to senior management. This was from a very detailed level up to an exec summary level and Chris was able to articulate very clearly how that base data translated into the view presented to senior management. Chris was also responsible for the complete month end process for a company, reporting these numbers internally and to the parent company in Germany. This was always carried out to a high level of accuracy and in a timely manner. Overall, I would not hesitate to employ Chris again. He is one of the most talented people I have managed, great ability, superb technical skills, good at building relationships to name but a few of his attributes. "
