An absolute star and a pleasure to have worked with Chris at Futrli. From the Day he interviewed me, during my stay and during time of leaving, Chris was a great person to know and always had time if i needed to speak to him or ask anything. Technically very knowledgeable and experienced in all things Frontend and Infrastructure, Chris was hands-on and a great CTO who had great Empathy towards everyone within the Group. Chris would be a respectable leader to have in any organisation who has impeccable Technical Experience and Knowledge.

Working with Chris was a real pleasure. I found him as someone with great expertise as well as profound understanding of business solutions. Wise, smart, amazing and awell educated CTO who can be trusted. Has an easiness to build interpersonal relations with others. He was always able to successfully complete any tasks with favourable results despite deadline pressure. Chris always maintans very good relation with co-workers. Absolutely worth recommending.

Chris is an experienced, hands on CTO. At Futrli, he always demonstrated deep technical knowledge combined with an excellent ability to solve complex problems, and always with a focus on commercial constraints or targets. His proficiency at coding in several languages makes him a perfect choice to lead from the front, and I would welcome the opportunity to work with Chris again in the future.

Chris has an excellent understanding of all things frontend, but that's really the least of his skills. Nursing a startup from a few people around a kitchen table to a highly successful company spanning the globe with multiple offices and teams takes a skill set that few have. Chris has the ability to inspire his team to ever greater heights and the stamina to support them while they do the seemingly impossible. Chris' eye for spotting talent has led to an office full of the very best people who are fantastic to work with and who inspire me every day to try even harder then the day before. I've learnt an amazing amount just being around Chris. Highly recommended.

I've worked alongside Chris for close to two years now. In those two years, I was particularly impressed by Chris’s ability to handle and manage the development team, as well as his talent of communicating what’s needed in every particular and critical moment. Working with him make me feel relaxed and capable. His astute knowledge of the industry make him a true leader.

Chris is a brilliant tech visionary who is exceptional at everything he does. From leadership to architecture, strategy to raw programming skills, I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Chris is great to work with. He is really really intelligent, ultra-decisive, and very driven. Chris’s grasp of technology is near perfect. He is able to understand every aspect of a hugely complex system with absolute clarity, and capably helps in the architecting, planning and execution of every element of it. Chris understands the full stack, makes great technology choices, and also finds time to deliver top notch code on a daily basis. He also takes time to stay in touch with every team, and makes sure that any gaps between the teams are identified and addressed. Chris is a really hard worker, and throws his absolute all into the pursuit of the companies technical goals. He is incredibly organised and manages himself in a way that makes him super productive and effective. On top of all this, Chris is a thoroughly decent chap, and I have absolutely no hesitation in thoroughly recommending him.

I’ve worked with Chris for over 6 months now and I can say that his superb communication skills and natural wit stand out in the meetings and everyday office environment. He’s gifted with the ability to lead in a kind and encouraging manner even under extremely challenging circumstances. He can be busy coding the platform, successfully scaling the engineering department with all the pressure that business growth brings and he will still be there to help and support whenever needed. I would recommend Chris in a heartbeat!

Having known Chris for the past 2 years, we have both been on an amazing journey @ FUTRLI. Chris is a pure professional in his role as CTO, he is extremely articulate, understanding and approachable no matter the questions being asked, not just in his role but in any other surrounding conversation. I am looking forward to continuing the journey with Chris and seeing what can really be achieved as we go forward on this journey.

I've worked with Chris for nearly 3 years and in that time I've seen him go from an important figure in the workplace to a company cornerstone and an inspiration to those who work with him. Always willing to listen and learn, Chris is able to match a perfect balance of an attentive and caring team player with the qualities of a charismatic leader the company rally behind. He is never too busy to listen to problems and worries, and will happily sit down with you to work through complicated matters with his full attention. Chris' goal is not only to make company dreams a reality, but also the dreams and goals of the individuals he works with, a trait that's rare to find. It's been a joy to work with him for as long as I have and to see him become such a brilliant CTO.
