With 25 years of experience in improvisation and moderation, Chris is equipped to handle the unexpected with polish and aplomb. He has moderated in English, Japanese, and Spanish all around the world for technology events such as TechSauce Bangkok and Pioneers Vienna, as well as international organizations such as the International Institute of Finance.
Skills as an improvisor come in handy during the inevitable glitches during events when the host must cover for speakers who are running late, or for elaborate set changes. An expert interviewer who carefully listens to answers and responds accordingly, Chris is an avid follower of the latest trends in tech and science, and thus he can moderate panel discussions or field audience questions with ease.
Years hosting the Tokyo Comedy Store's Improvazilla Show have resulted in a relaxed and warm interview style, with a sense of humor thrown in for good measure. Your panelists will feel comfortable with their host, and that they're really being listened to, which makes for a more lively and informative panel discussion.
Fluency in three languages, English, Japanese, and Spanish, allow for communication with local production staff, facilitating backstage meetings and problem-solving.
