Christopher Ford is a professional in their field. Colleagues describe them as "I had the pleasure of working with Christopher for a number of years while we were both at Riverbed. During that time, we partnered on multiple initiatives: mergers and acquisitions; enterprise-wide systems deployments; and a number of strategic and tactical projects. Given this range of experience, I can confidently endorse him as simply an extraordinary leader. Among his many strengths, some of the stand-outs include: • He is visionary, able to the articulate ambitious goals in relatable, common-sense terms • While clearly a strategic thinker, he is equally comfortable with details, and is able to leverage both the big-picture and relevant specifics to consistently drive outstanding results on the hardest, most complex projects • He’s calm and level-headed, even in tense situations; teammates naturally turn to him to make the difficult call or to navigate complicated organizational dynamics • Plus, he’s a lot of fun to work with, consistently elevating his colleagues, making any team he’s a part of stronger and higher performing All told, he’s just an exceptional leader, among the best I’ve worked with! " and "Christopher is absolutely the best! He has the right blend of strategic thinking and execution. His leadership is outstanding and operates at the highest level given any level of projects, workload, obstacles etc. He is solution driven and asks the right questions to produce quality results. He cares deeply for his team members and develops career paths for their success. He was an outstanding leader for me/Riverbed in implementing Workday and improving the employee experience. I couldn't have done it without him. He works well cross functionally and is well respected by senior leadership. Highly recommend!!! "
