“Christopher was a fantastic partner to us at Google – I worked with him closely when he was employed at Analytics Pros. His grasp of the high-level concepts around data science and analytics led to great conversations about how best to employ insights to help their businesses, and he was always courteous and a joy to work with. I couldn't recommend working with Christopher highly enough!”
— Dan Arwady, @ Google - Partner Manager / Analytics Evangelist, Google Analytics 360
“Chris worked on a large, complex project for our team that involved input from multiple parties and functions, and was able to bring value through his attention to detail and perseverance, in a constrained timeframe. He works diligently to drive towards goals, and is very responsive to stakeholder needs; whether that involves pivoting priorities, and/or changing timelines. I am very pleased with the work he did for our team and look forward to working with Chris again in the future.”
— Cyrus Ebnesajjad @ Starbucks HQ, Lead Data Scientist
“Christopher has been a crucial partner in developing and project managing analytics tracking project work for our organization. His attention to detail and creative problem solving are invaluable in helping us build and maintain our suite of digital products effectively. I look forward to continuing to work with him in the future.”
— Brian Kim @ Director, Digital Analytics and SEO Strategy at Planned Parenthood Federation of America
“Christopher is a great partner and is fun to work with. He is incredible at explaining systems and technology. He cares about achieving important results and outcomes. He has been crucial in transitioning our team to G4 and tracking analytics and traffic from various digital marketing campaigns. Christopher has been a delight work with. I couldn't recommend working with Christopher highly enough!”
— Kanitria Mason @ Entergy, Marketing & Advertising Strategist
“I had the pleasure of working closely with Christopher Bridges during my time at Intoxalock, where we collaborated on a range of digital initiatives including GA4 implementation, advanced analytics strategies, Looker Studio dashboards, and various website optimization projects.
Chris brings a rare combination of technical expertise and strategic thinking that made a real impact on our projects. Whether we were troubleshooting complex data discrepancies, refining tracking strategies, or improving reporting visibility for stakeholders, Chris consistently delivered solutions that were both effective and forward thinking.
What really stood out to me was his deep understanding of digital analytics and his ability to translate raw data into actionable insights. He's a strong collaborator who communicates clearly, adapts quickly, and always has a pulse on best practices and emerging tools in the analytics space.
Chris would be an asset to any team looking to elevate their data strategy, improve digital performance, or build scalable analytics infrastructure. I learned a lot working alongside him and would absolutely welcome the opportunity to do so again.”
— Miranda Opiela @ CST, Director Operations & Enablement, Digital Marketing
“During my time at Evite we engaged Analytics Pros in a massive re-implementation of GA360. I was extremely impressed with the overall design and architecture that Chris recommended and implemented at Evite. We had a number of challenges due to the fact that we weren’t a typical ecommerce site/app but Chris and Analytics Pros impressed with their creativity and out-of-the-box thinking. This implementation continues to serve a powerful foundation for critical product and marketing decisions. Over the years I’ve gotten to know Chris in a more personal capacity and have the highest regard for him as a technical/analytical leader and friend.”
— Rachana Mukerghi @ Evite - Director, Analytics and Data Infrastructure
“Chris is an amazing supervisor, mentor, and leader. With his deep rooted knowledge in analytics, database systems, and programming, no problem is ever been too complex for Chris to solve. He is always thinking outside the box and inspiring me to focus not only on what’s obtainable, but what’s possible.
Everything I know about analytics, I owe it to Chris. When I first started on his team, I had very little knowledge of Google Analytics. Within my first three months, Chris helped me get fully trained and able to teach others company wide.
Any company who is serious about analytics needs someone like Chris on their team. ”
— Vicki Lopez @ Head of Data & Technology Solutions at Wpromote
“As a marketer dependent on comprehensive analytics, I worked closely with Chris and his team at IAC/Inform Media Group on our large-scale GA implementation, reporting, and training needs. Managing such critical and complex systems servicing some of the internet's largest properties was no easy feat, and Chris excelled at unwinding a number of legacy platforms across different business units, with multiple shareholders, while constantly thinking of new and interesting ways to connect and utilize the treasure trove of data we were capturing.”
— Eric Fantasia @ IAC/Inform Media Group, VP SEO & Growth
“Chris is one of the most inspiring mentors and leaders that I've ever come across. He digs deep into muddy analytical and engineering initiatives -- territory where few are confident enough to take complete command (and achieve stellar results). Chris does more than solve problems, however. He is constantly encouraging others to lead, flourish, and grow. When I was starting out in analytics, I was a nervous wreck. Chris empowered me with the self-confidence to consider myself a true expert in my trade. For that, I will be forever grateful. Chris is one of those leaders who will simply change your life.”
— Ritika Puri @ About.com; Community-building in R&D
“Chris brings a wealth of experience to the table because he's worn the hats of so many different stakeholders himself--programmer, database engineer, project manager, business intelligence analyst, director of analytics and more. His experience was a big help to About.com's BI team as we took on new metrics tracking and segmentation projects and improved our data extraction and analysis processes. I remember when the team was first learning the ins and outs of Google Analytics and the Google Analytics API, Chris pushed hard for using unsampled data despite its many added complexities. I fully understand how critical that direction was now, but I didn't and didn't have to at the time; if Chris said it was important, we knew it was important. Chris would be a great resource at numerous companies with rapidly growing analytics needs.”
— Greg McDonald @ About.com; Cofounder of Cleared to Drive
“Chris is a solid senior development manager and director with a great mix of technical chops and experience to drive initiatives forward. He brings with him great insight into process improvement, management experience, and technical knowledge to optimize and coordinate engineering tasks that have multiple stakeholders and drives solid results. His ability to communicate and coordinate across multiple aspects of the business is well received and he has earned a solid position of respect with all who interact with him -- from peers through senior and executive management. He's well grounded and brings a solid understanding of technology and methodologies to the table to just "get things done."”
— Wilf russell @ Fox Interactive Media/MySpace, Chief Technology Officer at Livmor, Strategic Advisor at Vala AI.Inc
“Chris was a great manager to work with, who gives the freedom to express and implement ideas as well as mentors you as a coach with his extensive experience. Under his leadership the team expanded and matured to cover gamut of business areas and had opportunity to learn from those. Self motivated and highly organized.”
— Abhilash Pandey @ Fox Interactive Media/MySpace; VP Cloud Operations, HCLSoftware
“Christopher brings a very creative, out-of-the-box perspective to his product initiatives. Additionally, he is detail-oriented and drives for deep understanding of dependent systems and technologies. These traits, combined with high self-motivation, allow Christopher to make a strong contribution in a product role. As one example, Christopher drove product definition for INRIX Volume Profiles (vehicle counts on the road network by time of day) by energetically digging into source data and map details. His work on this initiative supported a significant increase in product quality and sales.”
— Tom Leahy @ INRIX, Sr Technical Program Manager
“Christopher [Wonkydata] provided clear and distinct direction on our Google Analytics clean up and eCommerce project... Very knowledgeable and reliable.”
— Randi Pruitt @ Proliability/Mercer - Analytics Director
“Christopher is a true professional and master in analytics engineering. He is a go-to technical lead with a hands-on approach to working with clients. My team at Gartner appreciated his clear communication and detailed documentation. I always felt confident in his logic and sound business strategy. I hope to work with him again in the future!”
— Nancy Northrop @ Gartner - Senior Digital Marketing Specialist
“Christopher is incredible at explaining highly technical javascript, HTML, and other tracking/data to a non-technical person (myself). I understand basic GTM and GA setups and analytics, but, anything above that is way out of my job description. His ability to explain setups and problems/solutions to large, enterprise clients understand is very noteworthy. I'd recommend him as an addition or as a complement to any team (analytics and otherwise)! ”
— Marie Mason @ Sr. Digital Marketing Manager at Scaled Agile, Inc. | Driving Digital Growth
“I’ve enjoyed the distinct privilege of working with and keeping up with Chris for nearly a decade, as client, colleague, and friend.
Chris and I met when I was consulting for Analytics Pros. At that time, Chris was driving an initiative for large scale advertising analytics for dozens of high traffic web sites, coordinating development and data teams across multiple continents and cultures. During that multi-year engagement, I saw Chris and his team significantly advance their analytics capabilities, by widening the scope and radically improving the quality of their data integration.
Through the intervening years, I’ve come to know Chris as one of most adept generalists in the analytics field. I’ve seen Chris apply his business and product skills to projects of many kinds, ranging from traditional business intelligence modeling to street traffic and navigation analysis, and building data solutions for high-tech manufacturing and fulfillment to marketing and e-commerce.
Chris is the kind of problem solver I’d consult in any new venture: a focused and versatile self-driven learner who cares about achieving important results and outcomes. His broad experience and skills in business and analytics can be a significant asset to any organization leveraging data to better understand their customers, and align their business processes to better serve customers.”
— Sam Briesemeister @ Stealth Startup - Analytics Industry Guru, Engineering and Product Leader
“I worked with Chris at Intel back when he was a SR Software Engineer. He was technically competent as an Engineer and had strong project management skills. These observations were confirmed by his management over the years based on his many promotions.”
— Leo Flogel @ Intel, Software Project Manager; Systems Analyst, Wells Fargo
“With the mountains of data that current systems produce, [Wonky Data can] turn this seemingly disjointed data into actionable business knowledge.”
