Cristo Leon mentored me when I worked at the Dean's office. We worked together in data management and visual boards that assist the Chairs of the College of Sciences and Liberal Arts on making better decisions. He has exceptional expertise in research field, leadership, coaching and motivation. He is a dedicated mentor, who quickly takes on new responsibilities while having the time to teach and share the information across the department. He is simply the superstar in his field and I am tremendously indebted to him.

Cristo Leon continues to be a mentor to me while I work at Dean's office. We have worked together in various research projects that help the students know about the research opportunities and how they can excel. Compiling and managing this data further helps the Chairs of College of Science and Liberal Arts at New Jersey Institute of Technology to broaden their fields of research. Cristo is extremely dedicated towards his work and always remains at the top of his game. He continues to prove himself exceptional in leadership, research, motivation and training. For me he is a true inspiration who works so hard in his field while having the time to teach and share his experiences.

Cristo is an absolutely pleasure to work with. Not only does he have high competence in his position as Director of Research at CSLA, NJIT, but due to his abilities and knowledge, he makes accomplishing the tasks easier for everyone. Often under time pressure, Cristo has never failed to meet a deadline or redirect something in time to position the project for success. He's also a great communicator. When I arrived at NJIT I had very little experience in grant writing and applying for federal or other sources of funding for me lab. Cristo patiently and efficiently explained things so that I was able to get up to speed. He's always available and calm, no matter how panicked I am when I bring him a problem! And so far, there's nothing I've thrown at him which he could not handle! He's also great at networking and suggests connections of his who can help me with additional things.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Cristo for more than five years. In that time, I have both heard from others and seen firsthand the sincere enthusiasm and dedication that Cristo puts into any project on which he is working. His passion for improving the lives of those around him, as well as those in the greater community, is evident in the extensive time and effort he puts forth in the interest of others. Cristo sees the big picture, but he also has a deep understanding of how to break down a project into manageable and attainable components that bring about real change. His broad range of experience and expert industry knowledge, coupled with his cheerful personality and genuine care for others, make him an exceptional leader and mentor.

I met Cristo as part of our firm's learning journeys and sessions. During the sessions I facilitated, Cristo stood out as a mindful, thoughtful, and insightful professional (and an even better researcher), precisely sharing a paper he authored on communication. I would be excited to interact with Cristo again, and I am sure everyone in his network would as well.

The best things in life are the unexpected encounters and connections. Today, I am grateful for the last-minute invitation that landed me a seat next to Dr. Cristo Leon at a celebration at the Newark Municipal Building. That encounter led us to realize that we had a point of connection: my alma mater, NJIT.

Cristo has been instrumental in helping me restructure and refine my business strategy. His mentoring gave me a fresh perspective on analyzing my sales approach and provided valuable insights into pivoting our services to better meet client needs. Through his guidance, I gained renewed faith that there is indeed light at the end of the tunnel and that we are on the right path to achieving our goals.

Cristo's expertise, coupled with his approachable and encouraging demeanor, makes him a standout mentor. I am sincerely grateful for his support and highly recommend him to anyone seeking guidance in business strategy, innovation, or leadership.
