“Chris is one of the most experienced, connected and cutting-edge-savvy business persons I know. We have collaborated on projects and I've sought his insight on various clean technology and entrepreneurial issues; it is rare that he has not had the direct knowledge or a resource immediately at hand to assist me. Plus his style and constant effort to learn and share ideas makes having him in my close circle of mentors a fortunate - and strategic - "must". His abilities to connect global players and issues in assembling necessary teams, details and vision make his involvement on every level a huge benefit to any organization.”
