About Christopher Smith

I am a hardworking, dedicated, and determined individual who will do what it takes to get the job done, whether working late nights or weekends.  I am very detail oriented person who can recognize the issues quickly leaving no rock unturned.  Further, I have excellent problem solving skills and the ability to thoroughly and systematically analyze the issues.  However, while I identify the issues and problems, I take great pride in providing solutions and recommendations to resolve the issues and problems too, i.e., a problem solver.
 
Furthermore, I am an excellent project manager and leader, as I have led major projects and transactions in my work history.  I have the ability to lead teams and motivate others to reach our goals and objectives for various projects and department milestones.  Moreover, I have the ability to manage a high level workload and multitask very well across a number of high priority projects at the same time.
 
Therefore, I have extensive and diverse experience in the legal, engineering, project management, and business fields for a successful industry leading cutting edge companies.
 
I am a hardworking, dedicated, and determined individual who will do what it takes to get the job done proficiently, and a thorough problem solver.
