Chris has broad experience in scaling both technology infrastructure and engineering organizations through high growth phases. Most recently he served as Senior Vice President of Engineering at Twitter where he killed the “Fail Whale” and created a more reliable service, led the rapid growth of the engineering team, drove the strategy for storage and compute, and controlled the technology cost structure for the company’s IPO. Prior to Twitter, Fry was the Vice President of Software Development at Salesforce.com covering all areas including applications, platform, core, and Chatter.

“When people work well together, their output is unimaginably better.”
