I'm motivated by work that inspires people to connect as their authentic selves. Beyond that, I struggle to summarize my skills and experiences in traditional corporate jargon - the "Chris has over X years of professional work experience in…" spiel. Partially because I've proudly invested in a lifetime of building an unconventionally diverse and complex set of experiences which cannot be described in 140 chars, but largely because I try to be as authentic as possible in my writing, and authentically, I don't think or speak in corporate jargon. So here's my deal: I have the academic credentials of an engineer, work experience in product marketing at big tech companies, and a blip in timeline to show that at some point, I put it all on hold to become a yoga instructor. What that really means is that I'm wired to think logically and constantly question the 'why' of things, I aim to inspire through captivating story telling, and my style of leading people by way of building up their resilience and authenticity. Right now, I'm refining my go-to-market skills at Meta, working on AI projects. LinkedIn is how I connect with, keep up-to-date on, and network with people!
