Colleagues describe him as "Craig pulled me into his office one day and asked me a question " Do you want to be a product manager?". At the time I was a software developer on the Analytics Dev team at Overstock.com and was pretty comfortable in my job. I was resistant at first, but after I talked with Craig over the next few days I was not only convinced that I should become a product manager, but that I if i didn't go into product I was not capitalizing on my strengths and holding myself back from greatness. Thats the power of a product leader with passion, not only do they create value, they create value makers. This kind of insight and mentorship is not common amongst all leaders, but is an absolute necessity for great leaders and Craig is one of the greats", "Craig is the greatest mentor i've had. He taught me so much about product management, business, and life in general. I look at Craig as a visionary. He won't settle for just thinking about whats next, but was always a few steps ahead of everyone else. He taught me how to respectfully challenge ideas and behaviors, in a way that has since shaped how I work, introducing constant questioning in an effort to ensure I am always maintaining a course that solves actual problems. Another thing Craig was great at was feedback. Often people hold back from offering good feedback, because they are worried of how it may be perceived by the listener. I went into 1-1 conversations with an open mind and always left feeling like I knew exactly what I needed to do. Craig was never afraid to voice an opinion and offer ways I could improve. He never complained or put down an idea without offering an alliterative solution. He always had my back as well. Once I had proven to him with data and reasoning why I was taking the steps and direction I was, he 1000% backed me. Lastly, Craig taught me not to fear failure. So often companies look down on failures, where instead he taught me how to leverage failure into a springboard to something new. Learning from your failures and ensuring forward progress did not include the same failures was always his focus. Its often surprising to consider how much respect and appreciation I gained from working with Craig over just a few short months, but I think that demonstrates just how impressive his acumen and leadership is. Craig can lead your company to success.", and "As his direct report and part of his team, I have experienced first hand, Craig has all the skills you wish for in a leader. Industry knowledge, strategic vision, the ability to formulate a success-ready operating plan, get buy-in from his team and most importantly the skill to drive sustainable change. He motivates his teams by giving them challenges and room to grow while at the same time allowing every member to bring their creativity and skill to the table. And the positive impact is measurable in impressive business results. He sets values with the team and lives up to them. And he always shows up for his team. He will give clear and candid feedback to help everyone on the team grow and I have seen him take the fall for the team if someone messed up. Craig is brilliant in finding great talent and seeing potential in people. Paired with his ability to put them in the right place, he makes sure to build successful and empowered teams. In the time I have worked with him, I have seen people flourish under his leadership and develop their true potential. He has an amazing and widespread network of which he makes great use to the success of any project he takes on and delivers. I am so grateful to have been able to work with him and under his leadership. I have learned a lot and I have always felt challenged and empowered and this experience has made me a better leader myself. Any company and team would be lucky to have him as a leader."
