I'm thrilled to endorse Chris as a transformative supply chain and logistics leader. He has a proven track record in leading complex end to end operations in large companies (including after-sales, reverse logistics, global markets, vendors, etc) and he does it with grit, humility, resilience, huge employee advocacy and continued customer obsession - delivering impressive results, consistent KPIs and quantifiable efficiencies in an always volatile landscape. Beyond operations, he brings true strategic thinking to the table and will problem-solve with an owner's mindset on all challenges, old and new. There is nothing I haven't thrown at Chris that he hasn't been able to fix, solve, scale and optimize over time. I've highly enjoyed collaborating closely with him on so many different topics - his intellectual curiosity, GM accountability and sense of humor, are a tremendous asset to any leadership team.
I had the opportunity and pleasure to work with Chris over an extended period during the last 5+ years. We worked directly together in Canada while Chris held the Head of Logistics role as an expat (he sat on my Canadian Leadership Team during this period), and indirectly, on and off, while he was working in the US. During the entire period, whether in a direct or indirect capacity, Chris's passion for the role and the people was steady and true. He faced the hardest challenges head on, with open communication and fact-based analysis. It didn't matter if he was leading a new project with the workshop, or untangling a sticky customer/shipment issue, or even leading relationships with our 3rd party logistics partners, he served his customers/stakeholders with great respect and was dedicated to the success of the organization. I will also credit Chris (and his family) for taking the leap of being an expat in the North as I know the courage required to follow this journey. It was a pleasure to work with Chris and I would relish the opportunity to do it again.
I am delighted to recommend Chris to anybody looking for an amazing professional. I have known him since his early days as a Head of Supply Chain in Canada, and I had the distinct pleasure of working closely with him as he transitioned into a Global Aftersales role before assuming his current leadership position. Over the years, his journey has been marked by an unwavering commitment to excellence and a steady evolution in his professional capabilities. Working side by side on initiatives to optimize the aftersales and refurbishment business, I witnessed firsthand his analytical prowess and his methodical approach to overcoming challenges—even when global prioritization setbacks threatened to impede progress. His ability to dissect complex problems, develop creative solutions, and navigate organizational hurdles has been nothing short of impressive. More importantly, his honesty, maturity, and steadfast adherence to strong values have consistently distinguished him as a reliable and inspiring leader. It is rare to encounter a leader who combines deep industry knowledge with a principled approach, yet Chris does so effortlessly. His forward-thinking strategy and commitment to operational excellence make him an invaluable asset, not only in his role today but as a visionary leader poised to drive transformative change across the Americas. I wholeheartedly endorse Chris for any role. His blend of strategic insight, analytical skill, and ethical leadership will undoubtedly contribute to the success and growth of any organization fortunate enough to have him at the helm.
