Christopher Reese

“Where do I even start in capturing the great leadership of Chris...he was my senior leader and always made time to talk or check in on everyone even if they didn't report directly to him. He created a culture of inclusion, trust, engagement, and essentially a family within our department. His vision on growth was always inspiring and he led with such care. He is the type of leader that put his team's needs before his own and was genuine in his actions. He is someone that I am honored say I had the opportunity to work for and work with, he is the definition of what it means to be a leader vs a boss.”

“I had the pleasure of supporting Chris and his leadership team for several years at Humana. Chris is an excellent partner, who is able to set clear expectations to outcomes, aligning internal and external teams to shared goals. His industry knowledge has led to organizational success for multiple years as his team continued to expand and grow in complexity. His ability to lead, mentor and built trust within his team was truly remarkable. Chris would be an asset to any company in his next opportunity! ”

“I had the pleasure of working with Chris for 4 years at Humana. He was great operational leader with clear expertise in contact centers, marketing, lead generation and contact center digital tools. Chris is a collaborative, honest, engaged leader who I enjoyed partnering with in my role leading process improvement and workforce management organizations aligned to his business. He would be an asset to any organization and hope our paths cross again in the future!”

He is very collaborative, has a high business acumen and successful at creating and implementing long term strategies. It was a pleasure working and collaborating with Chris. Any company will be very fortunate to have him on their team!”

“As an expert in his field, Chris brings decades of real-world experience into everyday challenges. His transparency as a client enabled us to create and sustain business solutions efficiently and effectively, meeting key metrics on time. Our conversations concerning impact on outbound communications and improving answer rates rank among the most learned and satisfying discussions I've had professionally. Always readily apparent was the respect and goodwill his direct reports and team showed on calls as we worked collaboratively on outstanding issues. I highly recommend Chris as a strategic leader in his field with world-class knowledge and leadership skills to drive the tactics team need to be successful.”

“Chris is a collaborative leader with an enterprise mindset. He drives continuous improvements and creates new test&learns to advance the business. Most of all, Chris is a respected and admired people leader - someone who truly cares for the well-being of his team!”

“It is my pleasure to write this recommendation for Chris Reese. I have worked with Chris in two different capacities, the first as a Program Manager leading several of his critical initiatives, as well as reporting directly to him in my current role. He is a results driven leader with proven ability to successfully manage multi-million dollar enterprise portfolios that deliver high quality while maintaining high consumer satisfaction. He is a confident leader that builds a culture of trust, collaboration, open mindedness, hard work, and having fun along the way. Chris pushed his associates when they needed to be pushed and was always there to celebrate the wins! As my leader, Chris allowed me to gain the visibility with Executive Leadership to showcase my products and my skill sets. His trust in his team allowed us to have flexibility to always do the right thing for the consumer along with achieving the company goals. Chris is a dedicated leader, mentor and friend. He has a strong ability to collaborate with all areas of operations, has excellent business acumen, creates data driven solutions, and offers a high level of commitment where trust and success are part of the solution. Any organization would be lucky to have Chis as part of their leadership team. Thank you Chris for being who you are. It has been my pleasure to work with you and for you. You have built an amazing legacy and it would be an honor if our professional paths crossed again!”

“After working closely with Chris on many initiatives, I have observed his ability to build trust with his team and stakeholders, to influence change, and to use data to drive results. He leverages his sales experience, across multiple industries, to meet or exceed organizational objectives. Chris will be a positive asset to any organization. ”

“Chris is a strong operator who creates highly engaged teams focused on achieving a shared, clear outcome. He is a strong collaborator and will partner across verticals in any company. I have found that on his own and via relationships he develops Chris is able to develop innovative solutions to different kinds of business problems. I highly recommend Chris for any operational role that requires team leadership, outsource partner management, and metrics to track progress.”

“Successful organizations desire to create the Culture that Chris Reese cultivates in his organization. It is one that is rooted in Trust, Transparency, Collaboration and Personal Growth. My insights are a result of me leading and growing in Chris' Leadership Organization spanning 16 plus years and across 2 separate companies. As the adage says "People don't leave organizations they leave poor Leadership". In that sentiment the reason myself and so many others have remained and thrive with Chris are rooted in Trust and Confidence in his ability to lead. When you talk Trust it is that confidence in a leader that his guidance has the best interest of the group and each individual involved. Chris places that front and center with how he leads. He believes that every person has value and that can be added to the team. This belief drives him to bring out the best in each of us even when we may not notice in the moment. Core in building Trust is Chris' special skill in being transparent as he leads. He excels in delivering a clear and easy to understand message when outlining strategy for his group. The clarity leads to feeling empowered and a commitment to perform for him as well as building confidence in oneself. His ability in demonstrating Transparency in my opinion is most effective when delivering that difficult message and driving individual development. Any leader can share the message when you have a miss and provide a list of items to correct. In the case of Chris he possesses an ability to guide you through a mistake and identify the root cause. More importantly, how he navigates you through the process encourages others to have a positive outlook on working through opportunities and remaining in a positive mindset. Chris has many titles bestowed upon him: AVP, Leader, Mentor, etc. I have been fortunate to experience him in all of these capacities and as fitting as they all are. I would like to add a few more that include Friend and Amazing Human Being. With the multiple demands of business Chris takes time to ask that human question of how are your children doing, may I add asking the question using their names. An organization fortunate enough to have Chris will experience Success driven by a Healthy Culture. Most importantly it will have a Leader that does it the Right Way!”

“It is a genuine honor for me to recommend Chris Reese for any organization. I have closely worked with him over the past couple of years. His leadership was critical to the growth of the organization. Chris is a charismatic, dependable, accountable, honest, and courteous leader. I was constantly amazed by his kind of business mind and his advice regarding sales/growth strategies. He has been a great role model who created an atmosphere of safety that permits spirited discussion, group learning, and trust. He demonstrated a high level of self-discipline and set exemplary standards for others to follow. Hosting a pleasant personality, he is easily reachable; he drew out the very best from his team, who, in turn, looked up to him. Chris will be an asset to any organization. I strongly recommend him for any position or undertaking that he chooses to pursue.”

“Chris is a tremendous partner and colleague. Knowing Chris for multiple years, he has always put forth hard work, effort and true professionalism. He leads his teams with class and with a true-leadership style that is unparalleled. When it comes to executing on his goals and work duties, Chris always brings a high effort, detailing on execution and ensuring the business drivers are present to manage towards success. Chris has a special quality and trait of building partnerships with people on a personal and professional level. Both of which have made significant impact to me professionally and culturally. I highly recommend Chris based on his skills, professionalism, leadership and true character. ”

“Chris is a gifted leader who really understands how to get the best out of people. Chris and I have spent the last three years working together on multi-million dollar campaign projects for Humana Pharmacy, & I am just a small sliver of his total responsibility. What has always impressed me most about Chris is how he motivates his team & partners to meet objectives. His candor, determination, business acumen and ability to make the complex simple has helped me tremendously. He's at the top of my top tier of business partners and friends. Chris has a knack for getting things done even in the most stressful times, bringing a can-do energy that's both infectious and inspiring. Chris is an asset to any organization and I hope we get a chance to work together again someday.”

“Chris is a talented leader with proven success in strategically evolving the business and driving growth, while also remaining connected to how the change is impacting his team and other employees across the organization. Chris leads by example, genuinely cares about the well-being of his team and colleagues and has earned their trust and respect. Employees from other parts of the business are drawn to the positive culture in our department, which has been directly influenced by the leadership style and attributes that Chris demonstrates on a daily basis. These attributes include creating an environment where employees feel valued, have a place to develop, and feel the freedom to share their perspectives. Thank you for all of your support and leadership Chris. It has been a pleasure working with you. The relationships you have built and the incredible legacy you have created will last indefinitely.”

“I had the pleasure of closely working with Chris and his team as a partner who provided automation and outreach services to Humana's member populations. Chris was not only an excellent partner but was at the forefront of innovation and drove a lot of our combined strategic initiatives. As a vendor/partner of Chris and his team, Chris was quick to bring us in and treat us as an extension of his team, this approach allowed for us to innovate quickly, make necessary shifts in strategy more quickly and ensured that we understood Chris's business from his teams perspective. Having worked closely and in partnership with Chris I witnessed first hand the expertise at which he handled tough situations, drove strategy and weighed in on tactical decisions, empowered his team to make decisions and how he led his team with grace and humility. Chris is the definition of the word leaders, his team as well as my team respected, admired and appreciated him and his leadership. Chris is the type of leader who leads by example, brings true culture to a team and is never afraid to do what is right to ensure both his team and the business is successful. I strongly recommend Chris to any organization who is looking for a great decision maker and a very strong leader.”

“Chris is the guy you want to lead a team through change and exceed goals. Chris has been my client for about 7 years, and during that time his team has delivered tremendous growth for his organization. He knows how to zero in on priority goals and find creative ways to exceed the targets. Consistently. Year after year. I think the most important part of his success comes from the way his teams pull together to deliver on stretch goals. Chris creates a culture that makes people want to work with him, then go above and beyond in effort and finally celebrate the success together as a team.”

“I've had the pleasure of working with Chris for well over a decade at Humana. I have always been impressed by his high level of competence and expertise, his willingness to partner on important initiatives, and his leadership. Chris is highly regarded by those who work with him and in his organization as a leader who brings both strategic vision and operational and tactical know-how. I've partnered with Chris on a number of strategic initiatives focused on growth and customer engagement, and I have especially valued his ability to lead large customer-facing teams and his knowledge of the detailed nuances of communicating with and engaging customers. I highly recommend Chris for executive level leadership positions and believe he will be an asset to any organization he joins.”

“Chris is an exceptional leader with a strong track record of driving results within the healthcare industry. Most impressive is his ability to produce exceptional results while creating an environment where associates/leaders deeply care about their work and each other. Mr. Reese deeply cares about creating a culture where associates are highly engaged and treat each other as family members. He continues to impress me with a tireless work ethic and a leader with creativity to overcome any challenge. I personally thank Chris for his leadership support over the years and someone that is a tremendous asset to know as a person. Thank you sir and I wish you continued success. ”

During that time, Chris was a knowledgeable resource & trusted partner that I collaborated with countless times to execute key initiatives. His knowledge of the business and willingness to support teams outside his own helped the larger team succeed. I recommend Chris for any business development opportunities, either by leading teams or as an individual contributor. He’s a fantastic partner! ”

“Chris exemplifies the traits of an amazing leader, colleague and friend. Chris places high emphasis in ensuring there is a great culture in his organization. He has created a family like culture in his organization that I have been lucky enough to be brought into. We have worked together frequently over the past ~4 years or so. The past year has been within his department. He shows consistently that he cares and values others in his every day interactions with them. He values other's thoughts and opinions, regardless of rank in the organization. He is very personable. He is regarded very highly by many in the organization. Many people have remained in his organization for years because of how he is as a leader. He is always willing to take a step back and explain further or walk someone through how to do something when there are questions. He is a great mentor. He provides great advice and guidance to help people move forward and/grow their careers. He works really hard. He is always willing to jump in there to help accomplish things with the team. He really tries to understand all the ins and outs of things and tries to find the best ways to accomplish tasks/projects and to provide a great member and associate experience while mitigating risks. Chris places a strong emphasis on collaboration and team work. He always strives to ensure that all key parties in the organization are included on initiatives/projects where needed. He is very good at assimilating teams and leveraging people strengths to accomplish things together. He holds himself and others accountable. It is rare to find an executive leader that demonstrates the unparallel leadership qualities that Chris has. I would work with him or for him anytime.”

This is a testament to Chris's leadership and the culture he built in his department. His willingness to collaborate, appropriately manage risks, and execute is widely respected and welcomed by myself and others who've had the opportunity to work with him.”
