Chris Hardie

Chris Hardie is the Principal and a co-founder of Summersault, and he leads the company’s work in building and sustaining communities using the technologies of the Internet.  Chris enjoys consulting with clients about information management strategy, user interface design, and network and systems security.  He also enjoys thinking, speaking and blogging about cultural change and community building, particularly as both are nourished by the evolving Internet. Although Chris enjoys the challenges of leadership and working with the big picture, he’s a geek at heart, and sometimes misses a good late-night software coding session.
