Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Guest is a founder-CEO and IoT specialist with eight years of hands-on experience building hardware, firmware, secure provisioning, and scalable cloud backends for long-life, high-reliability tracking devices. As CEO of Lightbug he leads rapid product development across NB-IoT, LTE-M, 2G, LoRa, Sigfox and satellite links, delivering modular IoT cores and APIs that shorten time-to-market from months to days. His background combines engineering design (MEng, First Class) with low-level systems work and front-end/cloud productization, enabling end-to-end solutions from sensor to analytics. He started out building GPS and comms software as a freelance founder, and earlier roles in numerical modelling and design tools sharpened his performance and systems-thinking skills. Notably, his teams have produced trackers with multi-year autonomy and a focus on practical, battled-tested connectivity choices rather than novelty. Based in Bristol, he enjoys tackling complex product problems and partnering with teams that need to “make things smart” quickly.
