Bio
Jane Polak Scowcroft
I worked with Chris while at Data61, where he lead our Venture work. Chris was great to work with - exceptionally smart, strong business insights, and value-add to every conversation. He is calm and level-headed, and focused on delivering the best opportunities for the research and the org. A well respected leader who can deliver across a wide range of verticals and domains. I look forward to getting to work with him again.
Alistair Scott-Farris
The speed of technology evolving today is driving a growing divide between those that have the product / platform technical capability and those with domain expertise to enable real world deployment of the same. Chris is one of the few that understands the technical complexities of innovation and yet can see them through to a commercial outcome. Chris' attitude, application and network are industry leading as evidenced by his extensive track record. I value all interactions that I have with Chris across the spectrum of conferences, meetings and projects in technological innovation and commercialisation.
