This week’s conversation is with Dr. Chris Mattmann, the Chief Technology and Innovation Officer at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, also known as JPL.

His work has helped NASA explore space, and helped journalists and governments track international financial crime amongst the world’s elite across the globe.

Chris is best known for a 20 year career inventing the most downloaded software on the planet culminating from his membership on the Apache Software Foundation Board of Directors (2013-18), creating technology that powers all the data systems in industry including his pioneering work building the Tika library. 

Tika, the “digital babel fish” is the key technology that solved the Panama Papers and won the Pulitzer Prize in journalism in 2017. 

Chris is a frequent keynote speaker in government, academia and industry and his work helped to define the field of data science.

At its core, this conversation is an exploration of what it means to innovate - it's about deep learning (one of the core tenets of growth) and the duality of technological progression in the modern world.
