Kevin Weiss, CEO of both Xhibit and SkyMall commented, “Chris has been a key architect in the design and development of Xhibit. His vision from the very beginning has been to create a unique and different experience for customers in the world of digital media. It is no small task to assemble a wide range of service offerings and a world-class leadership team, but Chris’s tenacity has been a key differentiator in getting us to this point in our history."
