He is someone you can count on no matter how hard the program or how difficult the stakeholders. He brought many capabilities to life and scaled them successfully. Christopher was the first employee in Amazon device operations when Amazon devices first started. He went from operating to leading operations in a short time frame. As the foundation of our group, Christopher taught everyone else about device operations and scaled the operation from one device to many, one geography to many, across multiple functions of logistics, reverse logistics, and customer support. I could always count on Christopher regardless of the complexity of the task or the amount of work. He knew how to make things happen that needed to happen, whether through understanding the technology, leveraging relationships he had, or rolling up his sleeves. Any leader would be lucky to have Christopher on their team."
