Optimizing Talent Acquisition & Recruiting

Extremely knowledgable and quickly understood the core of what we're trying to do. Chris asked excellent questions and had examples of comparable business models which helped round out my understanding of what we need to do next. He's saved me a huge amount of time with a concerted effort to point me in the right direction.

Chris leaves a great impression wherever he goes- with his effervesant personality, his tenacity and his spirit of never giving up- all sprinkled with a wonderful sense of humor and self -confidence. Chris connects with people on all levels and his ability to understand the fundamental details allows for an indepth plan to put ideas in motion. Chris is a very talented addition to any team.

Chris has been an adviser from an early stage, and was one of the first people to believe in CompeteLeap. He's been a tremendous asset in helping us to grow the company. He provides key contributions across a broad range of issues including strategy, talent, and accelerating go-to-market efforts. He is very smart, capable, creative, and driven.

Chris is an effective communicator and collaborator who understands how businesses should operate. I'm glad to have his support, and can't recommend him highly enough to anyone building a company or team.

Christopher is a great asset to my development of a new business plan for my 20 year old company. I needed help laying out a step by step reforming of my corporate structure and he provided advice that helped me get that done. This is a project I had been struggling with for over 10 years, and Chris helped me move it from my head to on paper within 3 months. Because of that I am moving forward with the confidence I have a well thought out solid plan.

Chris has been incredibly giving and helpful as my advisor over the past year. I reached out to him when I had very little idea of what I was doing, and no real traction, and he helped me figure out a general strategy to move forward. Chris also provided fantastic advice on different areas such as pricing and positioning, and developed a marketing plan for a conference I attended that made me the most popular booth at the convention. On top of his incredible advice, Chris has also introduced me to several individuals who have been extremely helpful, and has been a wonderful mentor and advisor. I am very lucky to have come across him when I did, and continue to have him help and advise me.

Wow! Chris is very smart, and very motivated. Tons of talent and creative energy. Keep an eye on this guy.

Chris is smart, energetic and one of the most talented people I know. If you are looking to get plugged-in, connected, or just to talk, Chris is your guy. Chris has established himself as a friend as well as go-to resource for many Sr. level executives here in the D.C market.

Chris is a driven networker and really places value in establishing the right partner relationships to move projects along. He is very well rounded and has taken the time to learn from those he works with. I would recommend Chris to anyone trying to execute a technology project.

Chris Mengel attracts top talent. He is cross-trained in many industries, which speaks to his incredible flexibility. His high energy and passionate enthusiasm combined with deep expertise make for a dynamic colleague to do business with. I am personally grateful to have worked with Chris.

Chris is a very bright, high-energy and enthusiastic business professional. His marketing/communication skills and ability to create "buzz" and visibility for companies, products and people is superb.
