"As CEO of Outdoorsy, I am blessed with opportunities to work with a broad range of people who bring a variety of skills and talents.

Working with Christian was one of those rare times, when I was able to have a front row seat to an incredible level of creativity that Christian uniquely tied to a strong business acumen and the result was brilliant and emotionally powerful campaigns that took our business to a more aspirational level while at the same time, remaining grounded to the mission of attracting new customers to our marketplace.

Christian is the real deal and any organization will benefit from his creative talent. Add to this, he's just a real cool human being and someone that everyone wants to be around. A rare combination of creative talent, empathy, business wits and almost no ego."

"During our time at Airbnb, he was essential in setting up our in-house production studio, worked hands-on with global product launches and managed a large group of creatives and editors.

He is a storyteller, filmmaker and designer. He is also a strong leader who always puts the work first. His ego never interferes with a good idea no matter where it comes from.

This unlocks curiosity and huge potential for creative teams."

"Christian is a senior strategic, operational and highly creative leader.

I had the pleasure of managing him for two years at Airbnb, observing his growth and impact across many high-profile, business-critical marketing campaigns, product launches and an IPO.

I was always impressed with his ability to win over a room, demonstrate strategic value to the brand, push creative boundaries and get senior stakeholders across the business on board with ideas. No matter how tense the deadlines or big the challenges,

Christian delivered brilliant work every time - always managing his department, projects, creative teams and senior leadership with grace."

"Christian’s growth and impact as the Head of Brand Creative at Outdoorsy has been extremely impressive.

As his manager, mentor and friend I've seen his skills and leadership up-close as we expand our audiences, channels and product suite.

We initially hired Christian to build our creative studio and nurture creative excellence in-house which he did brilliantly but, as I got to know him, it was clear that his strategic, business and persuasive skills were going to influence decision making across the organization.

He has been a key driver of Outdoorsy’s brand strategy and our new design system- leveraging that foundation to breathe new life into our employer brand, our marketing campaigns and our product experiences."

It's not everyday that you meet and have the opportunity to work alongside such a strategic creative leader and kindhearted colleague as Christian.

I had this privilege at Outdoorsy where Christian's skills made such a marked impact on both the team we led together and the work we made. During this time I formed a deep appreciation for Christian's ability to form clear, actionable strategy and artfully see it through to production on a variety of projects with deep integrations from marketing into product experience.

Perhaps most importantly Christian always led by example and built trust across the organization, on both a personal and professional level with everyone he worked with. Christian's forthrightness and vision also made him a valued friend and collaborator. Should you be seeking an inspired but humble creative leader I would heartily recommend Mr Christian Baker to you!

"One of Christian's most striking attributes is his personable nature.

He effortlessly establishes rapport with colleagues, partners, and clients alike, creating an environment conducive to open collaboration and mutual respect.

Christian has the remarkable ability to connect with others and foster a positive work atmosphere in the office and in production.

I learned so much while working with Christian during my time at Airbnb. Grateful to call him a friend and ally."

"As a writer, director and producer with years of experience, you find very often that your craft comes down to just a feeling, an instinct, or a quick emotional reaction that guides you.

That happened to me with Christian when he arrived at my office for an interview. Christian's likable nature, super intelligence, and his ability to quickly grasp both the artistic and technical complexities of filmmaking set him apart in our industry. I proudly watched his growth as he became a creative force at our studio, crafting numerous commercials, music videos, documentaries and an award-winning feature film.

Christian's positive demeanor, creativity and solid work ethic make him a young-man with a great future. I heartily recommend him to any who are looking for that key person to bring honor to their company."

"Christian has that rare ability to straddle the left and the right side of the brain.

His creative output as a leader, operator and a craftsman are world-class, but his business acumen is equally impressive. He’s just as comfortable creating global campaigns as he is synthesizing data, identifying trends, surfacing customer insights and discovering competitive opportunities. Even more valuable, he can bring all of that together in strategic and persuasive way that the C-suite understands, seamlessly blending creativity, brand, marketing and innovation with core business objectives.

Christian has played a vital role in transitioning Outdoorsy from a transactional marketplace to a human-centered brand.

That alone will generate lasting equity for Outdoorsy's business and it's brand for years to come."
