Business Innovationist & Social Media Evangelist. Chris gets a kick out of the challenging combo of strategy, creativity, and thinking on your feet that business innovation demands. Prior to coming to Creative Realities, Chris worked in New York City at the Masterson/SWOT Team, an insight and strategy consulting firm. Working predominantly in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries, he conducted non-traditional qualitative research with patients and physicians to inform strategy recommendations. He is also currently serving on the PDMA Global Innovation Conference 2011 planning committee as the VP of Experiences, providing his expertise in social media.
Chris holds a bachelors degree from Tufts University, where he majored in Sociology with a minor in Philosophy. His studies were focused on the areas of cultural anthropology, evolutionary psychology, and philosophy of mind.
Chris is a man with interests so varied you might even say they are all over the place. A sports enthusiast, he loves basketball, scuba diving, skiing, and triathlons. A born performer, he dabbles in improv and stand up comedy. An avid reader, the subjects on his bookshelf range from satire to neuroscience to history.
Chris also has a passion for travel and exploring new places, cultures, and experiences. His most memorable adventures include diving with Hammerhead sharks in the Galapagos Islands, white water rafting in Patagonia, and skydiving in New Zealand.
