EdTech Testimonials
EdTech Testimonials
Founder & CEO - Brainscape
“Chris is an SEO and web analytics savant. I’ve seen him work magic at tons of companies, and I consult him for every SEO question I have. Hire this guy.”
Andrew Cohen
Chief Marketing Officer - NovoEd
“Chris is one of the best marketers I have ever worked with. Chris truly loves digital marketing (he lives and breathes it) and builds on his knowledge every day. I’d be hard pressed to find someone else who cares as much about staying up-to-date with industry developments and trying out new tools and software. At Knewton, he laid out a robust acquisitions strategy, and dramatically improved our growth on a number of levels, bringing a metrics-driven discipline to our team efforts. On the interpersonal side, Chris excels at both supporting teammates and leading his own initiatives. He has a natural ability to teach others and transfer his skills and knowledge. A true delight to work with! Someone you want on your team.”
Christina Yu-Eisenberg
Director of Digital Development - McGraw-Hill Education
“Chris brings a phenomenal combination of extensive knowledge and a determined pursuit of deeper understanding. He possesses an arsenal of tools that attract users to a pre-launch product. And he quickly immerses himself in becoming an expert in a product’s particular sector, exponentially increasing his impact. Without any concrete product or benefit to point to, he was able to attract thousands of genuinely interested and qualified candidates to Knewton’s demanding Beta program. As an educator, I was impressed with his ability to teach himself a new ‘language’ and continually adjust approaches in light of new data, and as a colleague, I appreciated how earnestly and effectively he collaborated with the multiple perspectives of the cross-functional team members. It was a real pleasure to work with him!”
Dvora Inwood
Senior Online Content Producer - General Assembly
“It’s rare that you come across such a reliable expert like Chris. I had the pleasure of working with Chris for three months years at General Assembly, collaborating on a digital marketing curriculum as part of a partnership with Twitter Small Business. Chris’s ability to dissect complex marketing concepts and respond to feedback under incredibly tight deadlines made a dramatic difference in the productivity level of our team. Chris would be an asset to any company seeking a data-driven digital marketing expert.”
Dana Reilly
Product Manager - General Assembly
“Chris is a triple threat – he has a high commitment to quality, he genuinely cares about the needs of others, and his subject matter expertise is unparalleled. I hired and worked with Chris to create high-quality online digital marketing classes and hope to work with him again soon!”
Candace Williams
Full Stack Developer - Knewton
“Chris has a great energy for marketing. He’s a great guy and a great teammate. He definitely cares about his coworkers and shows initiative. He’s hardworking and compassionate. I would recommend him for any job or any kind of work.”
David Groff
Software Engineer - Knewton
“I worked as an engineer at Knewton while Chris was our growth marketer. He was hired to market our product, but unfortunately we weren’t able to get the product into a marketable state before he left. I know he had a large number of twitter followers as well as an initial beta userbase of teachers interested in ed-tech ready to go whenever we were prepared for it, which at the time I left we still weren’t. However, we still spent a lot of time together and I know Chris takes a strong interest in technology and how businesses can be built on top of it. He lives and breathes startups and entrepreneurship and is someone I consider a valuable mentor and ally to have in the space.”
Bill Prin
Senior Communications & PR Manager - Knewton
“Chris is a results-oriented marketing machine. He set ambitious goals and would hustle to meet or exceed them. He successfully designed a marketing campaign that drew customers to line up in anticipation before a product launch, engaged with customers often, and made customers feel like their opinion mattered.”
Molly Gerth
Founder - Story2
“Chris worked as a consultant to Story2 during TechStars and immediately after. He’s a social media marketing polymath, who taught us how to organize and measure our online marketing. Our early growth in online users and customers was a direct result of his strategic advice.”
