Chris began working in startups at age 16 to pay his way through school. After graduating from RIT with a degree in New Media, Chris joined Xerox as a software engineer. In 2007, Chris moved to the Bay Area to join YouTube as its second full-time web developer. Seeking the opportunity to build his own startup, he left YouTube in 2010 to start Imgix out of his living room. Since then, under Chris’ leadership, Imgix has built out an international team with employees across the United States, Canada, Germany and Japan—all focused on making the entire internet smarter, faster, and more captivating for customers like Porsche, Unsplash, YETI, and Nikkei. Continued innovation has allowed Imgix to go from strength to strength, now serving over 8 billion images each day for more than 60,000 happy customers.
