Chris shares his life journey in this interview. We learn all about his childhood, what it was like losing his Father at age 16, how he rediscovered again his Māori culture as a young adult, studying technology and founding IT startups and then joining Vodafone in Christchurch and what he does today working in a future focused team. Some highlights include his memories of his Father and what he learned from him that inspires him today and his desire to give back to Māori and Pasifika youth to encourage them to explore careers in technology. I really enjoyed my conversation with Chris and if you do as well then who might you know who would appreciate being told about it?
