Chris Barton wanted a way to identify songs anywhere he heard them. There wasn\u2019t one \u2013 so he invented an App called Shazam. Chris\u2019 creation is nothing short of pure magic. Chris seeks to delight people by using technology to make seemingly impossible ideas come to life. Shazam is just one of them. It changed the way the world discovers music and laid the groundwork for the consumer AI industry we know today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2018, Shazam was acquired by Apple for a reported $400 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to creating Shazam, Chris holds twelve patents and played key roles in the early days of Google and Dropbox. Chris\u2019 newest venture, Guard, aims to use AI to detect drowning in swimming pools \u2013 a never-before accomplished effort. In his speeches, Chris\u2019 story and storytelling completely captivate audiences. He inspires people to make big things happen in their organizations \u2013 to create magic in defiance of the obstacles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
