“While at Critical Mass I had the great fortune of reporting to Charles on the Citibank account. He was an excellent director, encouraging and attentive, providing great mentorship, and leadership to his team. Charles has exceptional client management skills. He builds customer relationships with ease and puts forward solid business strategies. What I found most inspiring about Charles was the way in which he approached his job: always positive, motivated, and focused to deliver the very best for the customer, the organization, and his team. He truly is a seasoned Executive Leader, and I would welcome the chance to work with him again.”
