Chris has been a fantastic leader and mentor for 8+ years now. He is both pragmatic and optimistic and has made every project we have worked on together more polished and thought through.
Chris really takes the time to understand the details so that projects will run smoothly and precious time is not wasted back-tracking. He is a data-driven, well rounded marketing leader who can turn his hand to anything, both with large or small budgets or teams. Best of all he makes every project friendlier and more enjoyable. A true diamond!
I had the pleasure of Chris being my line manager for 3 years. He is an exceptional leader, gaining the upmost respect from his team and clients alike. He is a precise organizer with impeccable attention to detail. As a manager he was always fair, motivational and ensured that he got the best out of his team.
Chris has impressive problem solving abilities and was able to trouble-shoot issues before they arose, quickly and without fuss. His enthusiasm and passion for his projects was contagious which made working with him very enjoyable. Chris can handle any brief and is particularly good at managing complex projects that require meticulous project management.aScript, PHP, WordPress, Drupal, SEO, Google Analytics, Photoshop, Illustrator
While working for and with Chris, I gained valuable knowledge, from foundational marketing skills to advanced tactics that helped me excel in my role. He was always available to listen, offering guidance and empathy when answering questions or providing advice.
Chris encouraged me to think outside the box and empowered me to confidently voice my opinions, thoughts, and concerns. His marketing expertise is limitless, and he consistently demonstrates a deep commitment to his work, always maintaining a high level of professionalism. His mix of smart planning, great communication, and true care for the team made him an excellent manager, and I would be thrilled if given the chance to work with him again.
Chris is a true team player, excellent people manager and very adaptable to any situation he finds himself him. I initially met Chris when he was Director of Operations at Yelofin, at the time I was working as a project manager for a managed services provider and Yelofin was part of my ‘virtual project team’. Chris was my primary point of contact during a large and very challenging MPLS project. He consistently delivered a service that was second to none by designing, implementing and managing a set of complex operational and logistical processes and procedures that enabled me to consistently deliver to my client. His commitment to delivery was faultless.
A couple of years later I went to work for Chris, where again he provided endless support during another highly complex and challenging project. From working with Chris it is clear to see that he is very supportive of his colleagues, encouraging them to deliver excellent customer service. I really enjoyed working with Chris and wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.
I have worked with Chris on many high-end client projects, including Google, Airmiles, Ebay, Amadeus Next Fifteen and Interxion. I found him to be extremely personable with excellent organisational and management skills, both with the client and internally.
He is able to interpret difficult briefs that cover complex data systems, interpret them and then convey information to colleagues and client in a concise and efficient method, ensuring that all parties have the details they need to ensure a smooth running process. He has a keen eye to break down any job to "face value" level and run Quality Assurance checks that provide useful User Experience feedback, sometimes revealing flaws that many others had missed. I would gladly recommend working with Chris on any project, at any level.
I worked with Chris on a number of projects including high-profile work for Google and YouTube.
He did an excellent job ensuring staff were happy, motivated, and able to do their best work. I would be happy to work with him again.
