During a heavy growth phase, it was paramount that we had the right level of leadership to stabilize and challenge the growth opportunities within the Americas and the US governmental markets.
Chris was able to map out our business needs through face to face and remote meetings, filter through high level executives that would fit the challenges of not just legal, but strategy execution, supply chain, customer interaction and exhibition planning support- whilst being able to deliver and communicate across various time zones to executives and Board members. Chris delivered, and I would wholeheartedly recommend his services, and look forward to his continued support.

Jon Nelson,CEO – Information Technology

After a couple of unsuccessful experiences with other recruitment agencies, I was looking for a strategic partner to help me set up a greenfield operation in the US. From our first conversation, Chris took the time to understand our industry and our strategy; and then identify the type of people and capabilities needed to execute the mission. Chris personally supervised the hiring of our first key people. Over the past years I came to realize that Chris measures his success by the value he creates for his client: he truly went above and beyond to provide great customer service to help our organization. !

As our company began to grow, so did the need for me to develop my leadership skills and qualities. In order to prepare for this growth, I signed up for a leadership program with Teal Space, I worked directly with Chris Villasenor it’s founder. This was an eye-opening experience for me gaining a whole new perspective on what it means to be a leader, I listened, talked, and was continuously challenged. The world class coaching I received has without doubt provided me with the mindset I require and provided a new fresh perspective for me to become a respected leader. I recommend this program to any emerging leaders and seasoned leaders alike, for me it was an extremely enjoyable and experience, which I will take with me for the remainder of my career.
