The United States turned up the heat on China last week, announcing that export or sale of advanced GPUs from Nvidia and AMD would not be allowed. This escalation of the trade war also reflects the war in Ukraine, with western governments seeking to keep most technology out of Russian hands. But this comes just as two Chinese firms have announced advanced GPU designs of their own. Will this move hold China back or will it backfire?…

While these traits make him an incredible thought partner that excels at introducing new concepts and riffing off the ideas of others…it also makes him a multiplier, someone that helps others sharpen their own thinking by forcing them to be more introspective, to be more curious about what’s possible, and to think critically and objectively about the reality of a situation.
Chris is a tide that raises many boats, not just through his ability to cultivate innovation and promote positive disruption, but by the example he sets.

Together we conquered many challenges, won impossible battles in the vendor industry and created a unique security practice. He has an interesting set of talents of being an engineer, innovator, and a thought leader, but never mixes any of these roles. That is what makes him successful as a leader. “Never be comfortable” is what Chris would tell me, which is what pushed me to do my first tech talk. I now have dozens behind me within some of the largest conferences known in the security vendor industry. Chris is nothing short of supernatural.
