Senior Manager - Retail | Verizon

During my tenure as a management professional at one of the stores Chris supported in the Tampa Bay Area, I had the opportunity to collaborate with him. As the Retail to Business Sr Manager, Chris consistently prioritized the well-being of his team while simultaneously striving for industry-leading results. Despite our subsequent departures to Houston and Seattle, we maintained regular quarterly touch base calls. Chris’s leadership style profoundly influenced my own development as I ascended the corporate ladder. I am confident that Chris will continue to be a valuable asset to any organization he joins, and I eagerly anticipate witnessing his continued success in leading teams to the pinnacle of their respective fields.

Chris is a rare type of leader who combines a sharp sales mind with a genuine heart for his team. He served as a mentor to me at Verizon Wireless, providing invaluable guidance and always making me feel valued as an individual. Any organization would be lucky to have his leadership, vision, and character.

I’ve had the privilege of working for several leaders throughout my career, but Chris is easily the best boss I’ve ever had. During our time at Verizon Business in the Great Lakes region, he demonstrated an incredible ability to manage a winning culture and motivate every one of us to be successful month after month. What sets Chris apart is that he doesn’t just focus on the numbers; he focuses on the people. He takes the time to truly get to know his employees on a personal level, learning their specific strengths and weaknesses so he can provide tailored coaching that actually works. He’s been a massive mentor to me and has helped me tremendously in my role, playing a huge part in getting me to where I am today. If I ever had the opportunity to work for him again, I would do it in a heartbeat.

I worked with Christopher within the Business Sales Channel of Verizon Wireless. While we managed different markets and collaborated primarily through virtual channels, Christopher was a consistent partner in aligning our SMB sales strategies across the Great Lakes region.

Our strategy sessions on Fixed Wireless Access and prospecting were always practical and results-oriented.

I had the pleasure of reporting to Christopher as my Director of Retail SMB-Business Sales at Verizon Business Group. Chris is, without question, one of the most impactful leaders I have worked with. His leadership is defined by a consistent push for excellence and a deep sense of 'GRIT'—a relentless combination of passion and perseverance. He doesn't just manage; he inspires his team to own the arena and strive for high achievement. I particularly appreciated his focus on building a sustainable, high-performance culture. He led our team through critical periods of growth, specifically driving consistency and growth in prospecting and outreach activities. He has a powerful mix of core strengths, including **Belief, Achiever, Command, Competition, and Analytical**, which allows him to lead with both strategic vision and motivational energy. Chris is a true leader who genuinely cares about the development and success of his people. Any organization would be lucky to have his strategic mind, unwavering drive, and commitment to building highly effective teams. I recommend him without hesitation.

Chris Cadoret hired me on as one of his Sr. Managers. I was grateful for the opportunity not only to lead a team but to lead under the guidance of Chris. Chris established an identity for his organization from the get go. It is rooted in GRIT - with unwavering faith and persistence to succeed, Chris exemplified this and it translated to his team of leaders. Chris was always available for support and direction and was consistent in reaching out and offering his guidance. What I respect most about Chris is he is transparent in all aspects and shows a genuine care for his people. He will challenge you professionally, support you personally, and stand with you in the fire.

I worked with Chris at Verizon, and he’s one of the few leaders I’ve seen who consistently brings clarity and direction in highly complex, fast-moving situations. When things get hectic, he doesn’t just stay calm, he brings everyone else with him. On top of that, he’s incredibly hardworking and fiercely loyal, which makes him someone people trust and want to work for.
