"Chrissy worked with me at Mountain Hardwear when we started going direct into the European market. In that time, she established our footprint by selecting sales agents, creating retailer relationships and setting overall market strategy including marketing and PR. I found her dedication and ability to deliver results a huge asset in getting MHW established in the European market. Her knowledge of the outdoor industry, consumer, German and overall European market is deep and her relationships with key contacts is very strong.
