Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Auld is a seasoned technology leader and investor who blends legal training with deep hands-on engineering experience to drive Data, AI and IoT strategy across financial services in Asia. Currently GM and CTO for Financial Services at Microsoft, he has led global engineering teams to co-build cloud solutions for the largest enterprise customers and previously architected enterprise-grade data and AI platforms for major banks. A serial founder, director and angel investor, Chris has a strong track record of exits and backing startups across biotech, fintech and enterprise software. He pairs product and platform fluency with practical ML and trading-system experience, having built distributed feature engineering and automated market-making stacks. Based in Sydney but operating across the region, he is equally likely to be found scheming a cloud strategy as guiding a ski party — he’s a qualified mechanized ski guide and avid mountain biker. That mix of board-level judgement, operational engineering chops and adventurous curiosity shapes his pragmatic, customer-first approach to technology.
