Chris Roberts

Biography

Chris is working over at World Wide Technology, and has been lurking around our industry since before its inception (the lack of hair helping to identify this). His most recent projects have been focused within the aerospace, deception, deepfake, identity, cryptography, AI/AdversarialAI, and services sectors.

Over the years, he's founded or worked with numerous organizations specializing in human research, data intelligence, transportation, cryptography, and deception technologies. These days he's working on spreading risk, maturity, collaboration, and communication messaging across the industry. (Likely while coding his augmented EEG driven digital clone that's monitoring his Internet usage, and tea and biscuit consumption!)

When not working he can be found in Eureka, Missouri charging round the countryside on a mountain bike, or hunkered down with the kids experimenting on ways to take over the planet. From an observability perspective he's large, hairy, often wears a kilt, and can be found on stage with a cuppa tea in hand trying to explain to audiences why they must ask more questions before clicking life's big red button.
