Chris worked for me for six years, and furing that time, I saw him grow considerably as a reference manager. He has a great ability to get close to customers and build a lasting relationship - which is critical when customer references are at a premium. Chris proved his worth to the company several times over.

I worked with Chris while at i2 Technologies. The customer connections that he developed and reference meetings that he coordinated for us were extremely helpful in closing new business and developing revenue. He is a very organized person that brought order to a very chaotic process.

Chris is the quintessential CRM. Simply stated, he gets customer relationships. I worked with Chris both as a potential and then full-fledged customer of i2's Transportation and then Merchandising products. Initially he helped me as the Business owner to secure formidable industry relevant customer references that met my very specific business needs. As our company's relationship matured, I learned that product development enhancements were tied to revenue generation so I wanted to assist Chris with new customers. During this process, Chris was attentive to all details with established back up plans in place. He communicated expectations of what, when, and who would be involved so I had the best resources with me and adequate time to prepare. There were no surprises. His personal commitment to helping his customers extended beyond his day job too. While Chris' relationships reside in Supply Chain, his talent to understand customer needs, connect with and across individuals to identify and fulfill expectations can be applied in any industry.

Chris and I worked together for several years when Chris was at i2 and I was at Dell and 3M (i2 customers). Chris is a dependable, competent and honest confidant who is passionately focused on delivering value to the customer. More specifically, Chris helped me as an i2 customer meet with a targeted groups of customers outside my immediate influence group and helped to facilitate discussions that were most pertinent to my needs. I think that Chris does a great job in trying to understand what a customer needs and then crafting and executing effective strategies around those needs. Simply put Chris listens and then delivers. I would highly recommend Chris to a similar strategic customer facing role.

At i2, Chris had the unique and invaluable responsibility of managing the relationships with our customer references. In the history of i2, there has never been someone as well suited for this position as Mr. Jennings. Chris is the most likable person I have ever met. He has an even, relaxed, pleasant temperament that is enjoyable and welcoming. In this role, Chris undoubtedly contributed to the overall success of the Sales team and the ultimate success of i2.

Chris has been the reference manager at i2 as long as I have been a customer of i2's. As a representative of a large retailer using the i2 TMS I was called on numerous times in my 8 year tenure as the TMS owner. Chris was always respectful, friendly and curteous when trying to arrange reference calls. Chris worked very hard to make sure that the calls worked for all parties and that i2 got the reference that they needed; Chris supported i2's sales teams greatly by making sure that he maintained relationships with i2's customers. It was Chris' relationship management that closed the deal on numerous sales cycles for i2 sales teams.
