Chris has a lot of knowledge and experience. The short conversation we had was very helpful in giving me some new ideas to consider as I'm taking on a new project.

Awesome call with Chris. I will definitely hit him up again. A really good guy to jam out on a brainstorming session with, too bad I forgot to record the call!

I had the pleasure of working with Chris Woodard during his time as the CMO with Noom, Inc. Chris is a very goal-driven, hard worker. He has the necessary communication skills to manage and motivate a team while also being able to execute his tasks with seasoned experience. Importantly, Chris was able to structure and implement the essential marketing tasks in the tough startup environment, which doesn't often prioritize the marketing facet of the company. Additionally, Chris is an honest and reliable colleague. His strengths lay in his abilities to not only execute but to also champion our loyal users, thus building Noom's brand power and also managing our emerging and quickly growing user community. Moreover, his extra talent lay in his abilities in the winback, in which Chris focused on encouraging previous users to rejoin our program.

Chris is a master marketer and leader. He is an expert on acquisition, retention, and product. His marketing skills and knowledge would be an asset to any organization. In addition, his management and leadership skills make him a top-notch executive. At BuyWithMe, Chris lead a growing team of over 30 people across multiple functions and locations. He is a great motivator that got tremendous production and loyalty from his team. Because of Chris' knowledge and natural interpersonal ability, he commanded deep respect from all areas of the company which allowed him to work with all departments to get things done effectively and efficiently. I truly hope to work with Chris again and would highly recommend him to any organization.

I had the pleasure of working first with Chris and then as a member of his team. As a colleague, I valued his collaborative approach where he always brought great ideas to the table, but was open to other ideas in return. As a manager, I was struck by his dedication to the team. It can be easy to lose sight of day to day challenges when overseeing several functions, but Chris was always tuned in to his team's needs and was happy to roll up his sleeves and help when needed. Plus, his positive, even-keeled attitude was always a breath of fresh air!

I have been lucky to report directly to Chris at both BuyWithMe and WeightWatchers.com. He serves as an excellent Manager as he has the ability provide a wide breadth of knowledge without micro-managing.

Most important is Chris' dedication to his team, as he truly goes out of his way to support them both directly and behind the scenes. Overall I think he is a great asset to any team.

Chris's understanding of user engagement and retention and his ability to imbue that understanding on others is nothing short of remarkable. Besides that he exemplifies the term data-driven decision making. As a leader in the web space, I've always gravitated towards individuals who can help me gain a broader understanding of the business of the web outside of the realm of technology. That is Chris. He is a true expert in every sense of the word and an excellent collaborator.

Chris is a hard-working, selfless leader who always puts his team first. Even as his group grew from a handful of people into a small army of 25+ employees, Chris's managerial skills never faltered. No matter how much he had on his plate, Chris always made time for anyone who needed his help or advice. His dedication was evident as he was always ready and willing to help out if his staff was short-handed or faced with a tight turnaround. If my work ever spilled over into the weekend, he was always there to remind me, "I'll gladly help out with email production if you need me." And I have no doubt that he extended the same offers to the customer service, editorial and production teams that he also managed.

Chris was truly someone who I looked up to and viewed as a mentor at BuyWithMe. I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge working under Chris - he taught me just about everything I know about email marketing, and turned me into a more analytical thinker. I'm grateful for my time working with Chris, and I'd jump at the chance to do it again.
