Christopher Klein Cofounder at rachio

Chris is an energetic, intelligent, and creative team member who has an amazing ability to absorb a large amount of information, and determine how to apply what he has learned to design technically advanced yet easy-to-use software products. His thirst for knowledge allows him to keep on top of the latest research and apply best practices to his designs, and he is an expert in the latest capabilities of Web 2.0 applications. He is very detail-oriented, ensuring everything he builds operates as required and also is aesthetically pleasing. To help implement his designs, he frequently participated in the development effort by quickly learning complex tools like and building many of the pieces of the products he designed. He is a strong team player who is well-respected by his co-workers for his dedication, commitment, and collaborative style.

Chris is an extremely bright, business talent. He has the work ethic, the tactical skills and the strategic vision to help any organization. If I had a spot open within our company, I would hire Chris in a second. He would be a strong asset for any organization.

I've had the honor of knowing Chris for the last year now. Chris is extremely self motivated and knows exactly where he's going and how he's going to get there...Chris was one of my top students in the MBA program at DU. I highly recommend Chris!

Chris and I worked together on a very difficult High School renovation for the better part of a year and a half. Chris quickly became a mentor and teacher to me, and I immediately noticed his effective work methods and his fierce dedication. From my first day on the project Chris was an excellent teacher, never overwhelming and always allowing me to explore my own work styles. Chris's innovative and unique techniques for tackling issues were always very impressive, and I would not be where I am today without taking some of his style with me. Chris's contemporary, yet extremely effective approaches, are a breath of fresh air in an outdated industry. His vigor, intelligence, and creativeness would be a fantastic asset to any organization.

Chris was clearly one of my best and brightest students. I really enjoyed the opportunity I had to work along side him and learn so much from him! He's going to build an extemely successful career and life!

Chris has been one of the most innovative students that I have ever had in class. He has an excellent grasp of business concepts and (emerging) technologies. Chris actively seeks opportunities to "raise the bar", challenging himself and those around him. I have the utmost respect for his ethical standards and business acumen, therefore I sincerely give Chris my highest recommendation.

I feel compelled to recommend Christopher to anyone as he is a brilliant and visionary individual, colleague, and friend. I became introduced to Chris in the context of him observing a concrete business need and working hard to develop a successful product to fill that void and realize that commercial/business opportunity. Chris has a great knack for business challenges and has worked hard to educate himself to provide solutions to those needs with the help of technology. Chris works very well with people and is one of those individuals, who will take the time to understand you regardless of your background.

Chris is one of those few people with a sound head for business, exceptional creativity, great humility, sharp intelligence, and an appetite for learning. He is a kindred spirit, a good friend, and a valuable colleague.
