"Having worked with Chris for over two years while at eBay, I can say you will not find someone with a better eye for site merchandising and operations. With a platform such as eBay, with its vast assortment of products and promotions, merchandising can often be the difference between doing well and doing great. Without fail, Chris consistently has the eye to piece together all the moving pieces a site merchandiser has to deal with, which is something I can say from experience is no easy task.
What I would say Chris does best at is being a team player, balancing the needs of multiple departments, from sales to marketing and business development. You would be hard pressed to find anyone who has anything but good things to say about him, which speaks volumes not only to his ability, but also his character.
