Chris Huntingford

Hi there, I’m Chris I’m a rather large, straight-talking, tattooed, well-travelled South African who plays drums (badly), wears horrendous colourful shirts, and has an affinity for engaging in as many social gatherings as humanly possible because, well….I want to experience as much as possible and connect with as many different people as I can! I am, unapologetically, Myself!

My zest for interaction and collaboration has led to a fixation on community and an understanding that ANYTHING can be achieved by bringing people together in the right environment. I have an intense enthusiasm for technology and innovation and at this current moment, I am focusing on AI and specifically Responsible AI and its effects on society. I am a terrific tinkerer, a passionate problem solver, and a magical maker. As long as I am creating something or bringing people together to do something innovative and COOL, I feel fulfilled.

Combining people, technology and excitement for doing the next next is what I do! I am a prolific dot connector. I love collecting as many dots as I can and connecting them to build a story that focuses not only on technology but on people and processes as well. I am a very passionate public speaker who has NO problem saying it the way it is.

I think that a dose of excitement, passion and directness will get us all into the right frame of mind a LOT faster and, therefore, afford us more time to do wonderful things that matter. I encourage you to disrupt, think differently, and colour outside the lines! Don’t be a box-shaped person; be a YOU-shaped person! If you feel like you are moments away from your new Innovative thing, I’d love to talk to you! #BuildAwesomeThings
