Chris Anderson’s Summary

After spending 10 years in the IT Services industry with IBM building strong project, team, and customer relationship skills, I decided to seek out a company with a culture and purpose I would find much more fulfilling. Luckily I found Lulu which not only had a fun, laid-back work environment, but also was doing amazing things for people all over the world. I also found a discipline which built somewhat on my project management experience, but provided a much more exciting, much more effective, much more productive use of all the talents of technical teams.

My goals now are to take all of these experiences and use them to help results-oriented companies to reach new heights of success through efficiency, continuous improvement, project completion, and fun. My most recent background is in software development, but feel that many of the processes and principles I use can be applied to any project.

Contact me if you're interested in this kind of success!
