LET'S TALK ABOUT TECH
- Using Computer Vision and AI/Deep Learning/Deep Neural Networks to fight CSAM – and how it is a unique and difficult use of the technology. And how this is the next leap forward in CSAM detection.
- The problem of Child Sexual Abuse Materials online and what everyone can do to fight it.
- How AI will make the Internet a less toxic place in the next five years.
- Online Privacy (or the lack thereof)
- Establishing a for profit startup that has a social good as a goal along with profit – and that Social Enterprises will be the next wave of social and business change in the next 20 years.
- Baseball. Because I love it. LOL

After years in the private sector, first wall street, then working at some of the world's best advertising agencies leading the digital/MarTech evolution over the past 20 years, Chris decided enough was enough. He decided that work and advocation had to come together.
Krunam was the vessel that brought his professional expertise together with the long history of advocacy in the anti-human trafficking space.
As a pure social enterprise, Krunam brings the best in market forces to the fight against one of capitalism's worst toxic waste, human trafficking.
