Bio
Tom Haley
Chris is that rare type of creative thinker and writer who can quickly ingest an extremely complicated tonnage of subject matter and rapidly translate it into a succinct, clear, memorable, entertaining, and genuinely helpful piece of content. For the past five out of the ten years I worked with Chris, he wrote and directed Jellyvision’s flagship product, ALEX. That job required him to consistently unravel complicated health insurance info for ALEX’s millions of end-users, and to direct a creative team of voice actors, artists, writers, sound designers and producers to bring the product to life and keep it fresh, year after year. Chris is a strategic thinker, possesses a razor-sharp wit, and is one of my absolute favorite people to collaborate with on any project.

I was the creative product leader on ALEX, Jellyvision’s Benefit Counselor, as it grew to scale, reaching millions of users across more than 1,500 companies each year, for annual revenue of more than $50M. I was a subject-matter expert throughout the product life, learning every new medical plan design or 401(k) rule, determined what a user needed to know about each and strategized how best to add that content to the product. I worked with stakeholders across the company and our customer base to find solutions that made everyone happy, worked with artists to create informative and entertaining animations, and crafted user experiences that continue to drive behavior change: ALEX users have saved over $1B in medical premiums.
