"Not only was Briana able to step in, take ownership and help us meet deadlines, but she also took the time to identify opportunities and offer recommendations for improvement.

"I have worked closely with Kris now for several years in multiple capacities. In each case, I have always found him to be a deeply insightful, innovative partner and leader who is willing to roll up his sleeves and achieve our common objectives. In particular, as a board member and investor to Ardica, Kris has actively collaborated with the entire team in building and executing our mobile fuel cell strategies, building our product roadmaps and developing critical partnerships. Because of his involvement, I believe Ardica is far better positioned for success in a challenging, but exciting market. He is someone I can always count on, and I greatly enjoy working with him." - Jeff Scheinrock, Partner/CFO Originate

"As Executive Vice President of ViX Swimwear, I had the pleasure of working with Briana over the course of two years. I must emphasize that the level of professionalism and integrity I experienced in working with Briana was a unique experience for me. In a very short time, simply by asking pertinent questions she was able to provide ViX with a very clear picture of exactly how to improve upon and structure the existing financial systems. With Briana's leadership and guidance we were able to successfully develop and implement manageable sales/operational budgets, financial controls, and credit/collection policies. Briana was an integral part of positioning ViX for the next level of growth. Under her knowledgeable, methodical, and conscientious advisement, we were able to successfully restructure the company in a way that encouraged interdepartmental communication and information sharing. Working with Briana was fulfilling on both a professional (she’s an exceptional mentor) and personal level. I sincerely hope to have the opportunity and privilege to work with her again in the future." - Kelly Stacey, Vice President, Western Region at CGS

"Kris has been invaluable in providing thought leadership and business insights and experience on our board of directors at Mobile Learning Networks.  He has the ability to not only help drive a crisp go-to-market strategy around products and services but to also provide valuable input on the operational details and measurable results so necessary for any strategy to be effectively implemented.  His innate ability to process the marketplace, understand product differentiators and disruptive opportunities, and help in building a world class management team have been instrumental in where our company is today. I would highly recommend Kris not just as a board director, but also a talented C-level executive with a real focus on execution." - Josh Roach, Founder/CTO, Mobile Learning Networks

"Briana worked for me as a consultant to support my FP&A team at Quidel. She has fantastic analytical capability and consistently provided high quality work. I would highly recommend her to anyone." - Kristin Caltrider, Vice President of Financial Planning & Analysis at Quidel

"Kris works harder than anyone while making it look effortless. He fundamentally raises the output level of everyone around him. I would work with him again in a heartbeat." - Rob Hayes, Partner, First Round Capital

"Kris has already been a driving force behind more fundamentally transformative innovations than most of us get to shape in a lifetime. I personally saw the impact of his visionary thinking and energetic leadership style as he inspired the creation of an entire new market category in Smarter Cities. Kris would be right at the top of my list to engage for a new venture, not only because of his strategic orientation or his natural strengths with clients and partners, but also because he creates a fun and high energy environment that encourages peers and team members to take risks while becoming passionately engaged in their mission. I look forward to working with Kris again and will be watching his new innovations with interest until that time arrives!" - John Gordon, Vice President, IBM Watson Solutions
