Christian is a results oriented adviser. His insight, focus and business experience are invaluable for any start-up company.
Source: LinkedIn Christopher Hendricks Apr 16, 2013I've had the pleasure of knowing and working with Chris for the past few years. Chris always has loads of good ideas and possesses the drive to see them through. Chris' enthusiasm, smarts, vision, and love of the start-up game make him a rare commodity.
Source: LinkedIn Brian Warren Apr 16, 2013Working with Christian has been an energetic drive to better, real, tangible, valuable products. His focus on development, especially in prioritizing around what customers feel is worthwhile, has been invaluable and matched only by his experience in product management with both large brands and startup level businesses. As we're a startup amidst emerging technologies, Christian's ability to see where a customer is going to go .. what problems they are trying to solve, and will look to our products to solve .. has helped every iteration of ours be both ground-breaking, as well as recognizable as such.
Source: LinkedIn Scott Campbell Apr 16, 2013I worked with Chris while developing the software system for Mobile-XL. Chris was a great products manager and his attention to detail and creativity was crucial in bringing the product to where it is.
Chris was instrumental in getting attention of the big boys like Nokia to this product.
I would take him any day to be part my team.
Source: LinkedIn Mandar Agte Apr 16, 2013Chris is a born team leader who is a pleasure to work with (as I often heard my coworkers say too!) With his extensive background in and passion for technology strategy, branding, building relationships and marketing I can see Chris happily and effectively leading a startup to success!
Source: LinkedIn Susie Wyshak Apr 16, 2013Christian knows his stuff. His insight on emerging technologies is top notch. His ability to recognize what the latest trends are and what we as a company should stay away from. I'd say the biggest asset that Christian brings to the table is his ability to help an entrepreneur put the brakes on ideas that he feels isn't the right direction for a company. Why is that so valuable? Because a lot of times most entrepreneurs can have tunnel vision and their decision making maybe clouded by only what they see at the end of the tunnel and not focused about the current state of their vision. Such ability to be able to identify and provide a detailed and sound advice for an entrepreneur is what Christian can provide. His experience and analytical skills are top notch!
Source: LinkedIn Vak Sambath Apr 16, 2013Chris is a tremendous asset in the area of strategic planning as well as core marketing positioning and planning. He has helped build our business during the critical startup years, and is quite a contributor to our 100% growth in 18 months.
Source: LinkedIn Scott Williams Apr 16, 2013Christian is one of the smartest and hardest working strategists I've met. He will chase a challenge until he finds a solution that is sure to work. I'm expecting to see big things from him in the future and would recommend that you seek his valuable input on any type of web or mobile venture.
Source: LinkedIn Tatiana Mulry Apr 16, 2013I had been working as a consultant with Mobile-XL for over a year when Chris joined the company. His organizational and strategic contributions were immediate, propelling the company in a tighter direction towards its goals. Chris is a natural leader and very effective at motivating people with various agendas, expertise and schedules to work cohesively with superior results. Any venture in which Chris is involved will be a tremendous success.
Source: LinkedIn Dana Zimmer-Mech Apr 16, 2013It was a delight to work with Christian. He's a natural leader, a brilliant strategist, and an amazing orchestrator of resources to get the job done. He understands the startup mentality and how to be a team player. Being a Minnesota Gopher, I will forgive him being a Michigan Wolverine :-) ....but he obviously has a great education from a top business school, a solid grounding in marketing at IBM, and now significant startup experience. The next team that nabs Christian will be very lucky indeed. I have no doubt he will be very successful in the startup world, and I certainly hope to have the privilege to work with him again. As clients go, Christian is one that gets my highest marks! He is a quality guy in every respect.
