Colleagues describe him as "I hired Chris into Yottaa as Director of Engineering to start and build an engineering team in Boston for the company. The job was well done - he recruited key people personally (by going to tons of events and meetups almost every evening for a few months to find and attract talents), put together a good process for engineering development and team management. Under his watch, the Yottaa BOS engineering team made significant contribution to our product initiatives and eventually took over most of the engineering projects. He is pleasant to work with, technical as well as have the experience and empathy for managing a team. Would definitely work with Chris again down the road. " and "Being the top practicing engineer in an organization is not an easy task. You sit at the 'high shear' point between critical business needs and developer priorities. Priorities that, while well meaning, are often at least somewhat at odds with the realities of competing in an aggressive market. Chris did a great job in that position, making sure developer needs were heard by higher management while simultaneously aligning the behaviors of the the engineering staff with business goals. That is the core of what I want in a boss, and Chris delivered. "
