“Chris Wink is one of the city's brightest stars. He is intelligent, empathetic, and action-oriented...a perfect combination for getting things done in Philly. Through his work at Technical.ly, he has spurred an incredible amount of interest and growth not only in Philly's tech scene, but also the burgeoning tech-related communities in Baltimore, Brooklyn, Delaware, and DC. He is also a fabulous storyteller, able to communicate across generations, backgrounds, and sectors with incredible poise, comedy, and ease. Most importantly, he is a great person to be around...easy to work with, honest, and good-humored. I have no doubt that his star will keep rising, and that we'll all be the better for it!”
