I have known Chris Baker for over fifteen years. More than any other individual, Chris Baker can be credited with the success of Indigo (now HP-Indigo) in Europe. Chris first established Indigo in the U.K. and then, one country at a time, across all of Continental Europe.
Today, HP-Indigo has annual revenues of over one billion U.S. dollars, a substantial part of which is generated by the Company's European operations - the organization which Chris Baker built and led.
From my long experience working with Chris, I can say that he is one of the best sales and marketing executives I have ever had the privilege to know. His in-depth knowledge of numerous technology sectors, combined with his analytical skills, enthusiasm and resilience makes him an invaluable asset for companies pursuing rapid growth.
