“There aren’t many people who, in a moment’s notice, would drop everything and come help us if we needed it,” said Russ Branzell, President and CEO of CHIME, speaking about his friend, Tim Stettheimer. In a recent interview, Branzell talked about the enormous impact Stettheimer had on the industry, the qualities he embodied as a teacher and mentor, and the huge task CHIME faces in replacing him.
