“Riot's directness, openness and honesty with players isn't an accident; it's an intentional effort driven by humans, and Chris has been the beating heart of that effort for most of my time at Riot. Chris doesn't just do communications himself, he levels up the team through mentorship and coaching of how we can all communicate in our own voice, but still be aligned to what we need to communicate. Without Chris, I don't think Riot's comms strategy would have survived the countless times where it felt like it might be easier to play it safe, or to not take the hard-to-swallow pills. A great human and uniquely-excellent comms lead, Chris is one-of-a-kind. ”
