Chris has great leadership skills and amplifies great work from his team. He manages nearly 20 program managers, he encourages his team to take full ownership over their work and decisions, yet provides guidance and support when necessary, and positively challenges them to think broader and deeper to hold them accountable. He sets a high bar for quality of work, and builds an environment where his team is empowered to rise to the challenge and do a great job. While working with him at Elavon, I’ve witnessed how he helped to break insurmountable initiatives into more tangible milestones and immediate goals for execution, and how he helped to move the team forward by reframing the problem, getting the right people involved, and level-setting the team, and facilitating collaborative decision making. Chris is a great leader and mentor, he genuinely cares about his team and coworkers' growth and wellbeing. Any team would find him to be a true asset and a pleasure to work with." and "I met Chris after one of our most talented company leaders had highly recommended him from his graduate program.
