"Don was our mentor at Founders Institute. We had some new concepts and approaches as a startup, and Don was able to see our potential where some investors and consultants would blindly shoo us away. Don's encouragement, understanding, and goal-oriented guidance are definite factors to every company's success in the program."

"Chris has something few management consultants offer: he commands a technical expertise that matches best-of-class CTO’s, while at the same time, he operates with a sensitivity to organizational culture that is extraordinary. The latter ensures his technical guidance is heard and heeded by the array of stakeholders and actors that must be brought along to ensure a complex project’s success. "He’s an excellent, active listener, a careful communicator, and a skilled facilitator. Candid and personable, Chris is comfortable and conversant with individuals that represent the full spectrum of technical experience—from technophobe to technocrat. "He knows how to bring people together, help them come to a common understanding about complicated matters, and map a way forward that makes change processes transparent and doable."

"Don was the Chapter Leader of the Founder Institute accelerator program I attended. Myself and all of my fellow founders loved working with Don. We trusted him. He was our go-to guy for anything we needed. He helped make this experience the amazing and fulfilling experience that it was. I highly recommend!"
