Christopher Barkan Email & Phone Number

Christopher Barkan is a Principal Innovation Specialist at ComEd. Colleagues describe them as "Christopher is my go-to consultant and advisor when I need professional excellence across the board. I've hired him--sometimes on very tight deadlines--for projects related to strategic planning, research, writing and editing, and career planning. His success is grounded in two sets of skills that are not commonly found in the same person. First, he knows how to leverage his refined intellectual skills to vexing problems. Second, his mature emotional and interpersonal aptitude empowers him to know wisely how best to collaborate with me and adapt to my professional demands and work style. Specifically Christopher sheds new light on complex issues, dynamics, and structures, thereby bringing those with whom he works to a higher level of critical understanding. At the same time, however, his engaging, attentive, and even charming disposition disarms the stress associated with solving complex problems on short deadlines. He is not merely a trustworthy and competent counselor -- Christopher is a rare kind of effective leader who cares about those around him."
