 CLIENTS' VIEW
Christine provides a unique capability that combines deep knowledge and understanding of Human Resources with the practical applications needed in business today.  She blends her exposure as an HR leader with her tenure as a business leader and executive team member.  Organizing work so it is outcome oriented, on target, on time and fully value added.  Christine goes beyond the typical functional HR leader role and contributes as a member of the overall leadership/executive team.  Christine is passionate, resourceful and committed to the work she undertakes and upholds a high standard for performance,
confidentiality and ethics.
Bill Niebur  -  Director, President & CEO Origin Agritech, Ltd.
I’ve known and worked with Christine for more than 10 years. She brings a helpful blend of Human Resource expertise and business knowledge. These are attributes I think are all too often missing today, where technical expertise or functional focus tends to limit creativity and cross-organization coordination. Christine also drives executive teams to work effectively with leaders and managers to foster engagement and development.

Thank you Christine for quickly coming into our HR assignment helping Athene Europe to launch the essential components of HR in a start up scenario.  With minimal direction, you quickly entered the organization, learned the key players and culture, identified needs and put plans into action.  Your key strengths certainly provided significant benefit to the launch.
Kristi Kaye Burma - SVP, Human Resources, Athene USA
Christine has offered a high level of HR consulting guidance to our start-up.  The pace is rapid and the business potential is high.  Aside from HR guidance, Christine’s  networking capabilities and connections are beneficial to our business development.  Christine has delivered a full executive and employee compensation structure, a format and communication pathway for providing employee equity and is assisting on current key executive team talent searches.  She thinks well beyond the function of HR and considers multi-facets of the business as she offers her consulting advisement.  Christine’s work is efficient and she offers the consulting flexibility needed for our start-up business.
