Over 14 years Chris has founded over seven workgroups, non-profits and start-ups. He launched Echo in 2009 which provides a real-time platform enabling the rapid implementation and scale of applications for social TV, social commerce, real-time commenting and social content aggregation. Brands leverage the Echo platform to transform their static websites into real-time experiences and Echo currently serves over one billion streams per month for Discovery Channel, ESPN, Showtime, Sports Illustrated, The Washington Post, Universal Music Group, USA Networks and World Wrestling Entertainment. Most recently, Chris co-founded the Data Portability project. He also co-founded the APML (Attention Profiling Markup Langauge) Workgroup, the Media 2.0 Workgroup, Faraday Media, RedShift and Radioactive, where he set strategic direction and championed the advancement of the real-time social web.

At 26, Chris Saad is one of Australia’s most impressive young web entrepreneurs. His theory and practice around web standards – specifically “DataPortability” and “Attention Management” – have gained significant traction and are set to have a profound impact on the evolution of media in the digital age. Saad has co-founded several web-related companies and organisations, most prominently Faraday Media in 2006, of which he is CEO. Faraday Media is developing Particls, a technology that learns user habit and taste and delivers relevant information to them via news crawler, SMS, email, flash visualisations, etc. He also co-founded the Media 2.0 Workgroup with 14 industry “commentators, agitators and innovators”. There’s no shortage of ideas or energy in this digitally-minded entrepreneur. One to watch in the years to come.
