Add to basketHow did we end up here, masters of scientific insight, purveyors of ever more powerful technologies, astride the burning planet that created us, and now responsible for cleaning up the mess and determining the future direction of all of life? And what do we do about it?
Technology is Dead is a book that attempts to answer both of those questions. It is a book of both challenge and hope, written for those who are able or willing to lead us out of our global predicament. It is a book for everybody: the politicians, CEOs, community leaders, everyday parents, and young people who understand that we must change our ways to ensure a sustainable future for all living things and the planet we rely on.
Chris has a long and deep track record of using his intimate understanding of technology, innovation, and humanity to build compelling brands and high performing organizations. His career story includes founding several startups, leading two brand and direct marketing agencies, and overseeing a strategic revamp of Scholastic’s core book club publishing business. In 2015 he joined the Harvard Innovation Labs where he served as Managing Director, supporting hundreds of student and alumni led startups.
In 2019 he left Harvard to speak around the world on the topic of innovation and increasing our human understanding to achieve both commercial and societal success. He recently joined private equity firm Digital Fuel Capital as Operating Partner to work with ecommerce portfolio companies on three critical levers: brand integration, strategic planning, and organizational performance optimization. In addition to his advising and speaking, Chris is the author of This Is It, a provocative work on the importance of innovating oneself and Technology is Dead – The Path to a More Human Future, a plea to the world to lead with more human understanding. He is also the creator and voice of the popular global podcast Insert:Human. Chris received a BA from Connecticut College and an International MBA from Duke's Fuqua School of Business.
He serves on the boards of Pillar Ventures, Fintech Americas, Concept Vines, and School of Humanity.
