One of the great things about Chris is that he has a rare combination of technical skills and strategic business skills so that he was able to understand the questions to ask when managing a project ensuring nothing fell through the cracks. His sales & marketing acumen and product management skills were a true asset to our team. In addition, Chris was always willing to take on a new challenge or help out another department that was short on resources. I could always count on him to get things done and to do so with a great attitude.

Chris is always organized and highly efficient (especially in stressful situations), and is always willing to put in the work to search for a solution to a problem.
Brittany Goodman

Chris was always organized, efficient, and asked great questions, thoroughly exploring all aspects of issues before deciding on a solution. He is deliverables-focused and deadline-driven, and can multi-task across several different projects, keeping each project organized and on track.
Stephanie Shipman
Client Development Manager, Placester Inc.Chicago, IL. March 2017
He made the difficult task of transitioning 29 e-commerce programs to a new technology platform seem easy, and even when faced with issues always offered a solution that was both fair to client and vendor. He is a great project and business manager and I continue to be impressed with his work.
Michelle Gaugler
Director of Client Services, Blackhawk NetworkNew York, NY. May 2016
Chris combines his experience as a product manager and project manager, and it’s obvious he’s comfortable “wearing multiple hats” and doesn’t mind juggling multiple projects at once. He is very organized and has the ability to focus on specific deliverables while also keeping an eye on the big picture. This, in turn, allows him to predict how his efforts or product(s) could impact revenue or audience development efforts across the organization. Chris is truly a team player, and we’re lucky to have him as a member of the product management team.
Jeff Levine
Product Manager, McClatchyRaleigh, NC. April 2016
Chris is a can do person, he is the first to jump in and help anyone on the team that needs help. He is a great resource for project management best practices… For Chris project management is not just a job but it is his passion and it is clear in his excellent deliverables and eagerness to help others in the field.

He has excelled in every role in the Ad Operations department and now as Sr. Project Manager… Any project Chris oversees, he will explore all possible perspectives and its numerous applications with exceptional detail. Chris is a must have asset and a valuable contributor to any situation or team.

Chris and I worked in different departments, but because of his exceptional communication skills, working on complicated projects was as easy as talking to someone sitting right next to me.

I had the pleasure of working with Chris as we built Insight’s sales organization in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. When I first met Chris he was a Sales Representative. He developed into one of our top producers. We gave him the opportunity to be a Sales Manager. Chris jumped at it, and built a successful Sales team. Chris has an incredible work ethic and a high level of integrity. I was proud to have him on our team.

Chris Jenicek’s work as a Sales Manager at Insight not only brought results in the form of numbers, but as a mentor he was able to develop and edorse his team members into becoming important employees at Insight in within the industry. I personally have much to thank him for and cannot recommend him enough.

I have known him to be a very versatile and dedicated employee and a supportive colleague. He’s held several positions with the company and he’s excelled in each one. When working directly with Chris, I found him to be detail-oriented and a clear and effective communicator who can keep a project on track. He’s the consummate professional and an asset to any company he works for.
