When I reported to Chaz he was always willing to listen and made working at Apprentice a great experience.

Chaz went above and beyond to ensure my needs and concerns were addressed and resolved.

Chaz would be a great person to have on your team as he knows how to work with people and he truly cares about individuals goals and growth.

Chaz has the ability to see the potential in people and mentor them along their path.

If you ever get a chance to speak or work with him you will see for yourself what a wonderful human being he is!

Chaz is an invaluable resource to any organization.

He has an incredible and transparent servant leader management style that allows his team to thrive and achieve.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Chaz on multiple HR/IT cross functional projects - he consistently explained things in a way that a non IT professional could understand and never made me feel like a burden for my (many) requests of his team.

The employee experience side of IT is not often top of mind when there are so many other priorities across the business but Chaz saw the need and appreciated our collaboration.

This allowed us to create a meaningful and seamless employee onboarding experience.

I would highly recommend Chaz to any organization seeking a highly professional and empathetic leader/doer for their IT department.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Chaz for over two years at Apprentice. As the CTO, while I didn't directly oversee Chaz in his role as Director of IT, we collaborated in a number of areas critical to our operations such as security and Mobile Device Management (MDM).

Chaz was instrumental in establishing our IT infrastructure from scratch.

His expertise extended beyond the standard IT responsibilities like hardware management, A/V setup, helpdesk coordination, and overseeing identity systems and licensing.

He excelled in these areas, but it was his handling of our unique challenges that truly set him apart. For instance:

* Regulatory Compliance: Chaz's leadership was pivotal in navigating our complex compliance requirements.

His team consistently ensured rigorous vetting of new software and adherence to strict guidelines.

* MDM Deployment: Unlike typical IT setups where MDM is internally focused, our organization required deploying MDM solutions to customers, involving complex iOS and Android requirements.

Chaz adeptly managed these processes, liaising with our mobile product engineers and solution architects to understand deployment needs and successfully implementing systems to facilitate these deployments.

* Chaz helped formulate our internal Generative AI tooling strategy and evaluated several tools for us to adopt.

Chaz's approach to work combines a proactive, can-do attitude with responsiveness and efficiency.

His problem-solving skills are exceptional, and his ability to rapidly address and resolve issues made him an invaluable asset to our team.

In summary, Chaz's contribution to Apprentice was immense, not only in fulfilling our IT needs but also in elevating our operational capabilities to meet unique industry demands.

He works hard, but does it with a smile and I always felt I had a true collaborator for any work we did together.

Chaz is a phenomenal partner to work with. When I first got to know Chaz he demonstrated an unprecedented speed to absorb and learn copious amounts of information as it relates to the Mac and iOS platforms. His ability to implement and execute on best practices makes him a reliable and trust worthy leader, keeping the best interest of the organization at heart. Over the years I watched him develop a well oiled environment capable of a number of complex deployments. A tremendous asset to any company where best in class IT enablement is top of mind and speed of execution is paramount.

Chaz was honestly one of the best managers I’ve had the pleasure of working with. He is genuinely passionate about technology and always ahead of the curve when it comes to new hardware and software advancements.

I highly recommend Chaz for a strategic leadership role focused on developing and implementing comprehensive IT strategies. With a hands-on approach to strategy development, adept project management skills, and a commitment to balancing innovation with risk management, he is well-suited for a position that involves aligning IT resources with business objectives. His track record in overseeing IT operations, ensuring system reliability and security, and managing budgets demonstrates a strong ability to contribute to organizational success.

Chaz will bring a proven professional enhancement to any organization!

During my tenure at Apprentice, I had the privilege of working under the guidance of Chaz Chamberlain, the IT Director whose caliber is best described as exceptional.

Chaz isn’t just an IT Director; he’s a mentor, a team player, and a tech maestro who imparts knowledge as effortlessly as he resolves complex IT conundrums. His approach to leadership is rooted in empowerment, not micromanagement, making him a motivator who fosters innovation and autonomy.

His adept handling of mobile device management tools like Jamf, AirWatch, Intune, and Soti kept us a step ahead in the tech game, ensuring seamless operations. Chaz’s swift and efficient resolution of IT tickets speaks volumes of his dedication to operational excellence and his skill as an IT administrator.

His knack for communication and collaboration transcends departmental barriers, making him a valuable asset across any organizational matrix. Chaz is the kind of problem solver who listens intently, assesses strategically, and acts decisively. His ability to nurture ideas and allow for their implementation has not only led to technological progress but has also cultivated a culture of trust and respect.

Chaz Chamberlain is more than just a great fit for any company; he is a transformative presence in the IT field. If you’re looking for someone who will go the extra mile, uplift your IT capabilities, and lead with vision and reliability, Chaz is your person.

I am confident that Chaz will continue to be a tremendous asset wherever his career path leads. Any organization would be fortunate to have him on board.

I had the pleasure of working under Chaz as my Director at Apprentice for 11 months. Throughout this period, he consistently demonstrated an exceptional ability to lead, motivate, and inspire teams.

Chaz possesses a rare combination of strategic vision and hands-on operational skills. He played a pivotal role in guiding our team through multiple projects and intiatives, showcasing a keen understanding of both the big picture and intricate details. Chaz consistently ensured that our projects not only met but exceeded expectations, delivering high-quality results on time and within budget.

He fostered a positive and collaborative work environment, where every team member felt valued and motivated. Chaz is not just a leader by title but truly embodies the qualities of an inspiring mentor. He always provided guidance, support, and encouraged my professional growth and development.

Chaz is undoubtedly an asset to any organization fortunate enough to have him on board.
