Here’s some of what folks have to say about working with me.

I’ve had the benefit of working with Chris over a few years. His ability to offer evenhanded critiques and assessments from an outside perspective alone has been enlightening. With his insights and pragmatic approach, it’s been more like working alongside a thought partner with a genuine interest in actualizing the vision.

Over the years, Chris has coached me to be a thoughtful and deeper strategic thinker with a lens toward inclusive community transformation. He has a masterful way of taking one out of their comfort zone and elevate their capacity to think big. He is authentic, visionary and deliberate in helping people grow.
