More about Joe

I joined Blast…

To be a part of a culture that supports continual learning and has a huge focus on client success.

A cool part of my job is…

joe christopher

Taking disconnected concepts and data and helping to make sense of them. And, I get to work with recognizable brands throughout the world and help shape their data-driven cultures.

My consulting “philosophy” is…

To understand where my clients have been, where they are at, and where they want to go so that I can partner with them on a journey to EVOLVE their organization’s use of data that leads to trust and action.

It’s not on my resume, but…

I love Chilean sea bass, which actually is called the Patagonian toothfish, but was renamed by a fish wholesaler in 1977 to make it more attractive to the American market.

One of my first jobs was…

Child day care.

The most interesting place I’ve traveled is…

I’ve had the opportunity to travel to some unique places, for work and pleasure, but Costa Rica is one of my favorites.

My hobbies include…

Skiing, tennis, and gadgets. And of course, spending time with my lovely wife and kids.

A favorite quote of mine is…

“Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody’s going to know whether you did it or not.” — Oprah Winfrey

“Our analyst can be quite nitpicky and prone to uncovering issues, but there have been no major issues! Overall, the video launch was great. We have never done such thorough validation, which is probably why it went so smoothly!”
