Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders

S5 E12: Chris Wexler, Krunam


Listen Later

Chris Wexler had a crazy path to get where he is today. By his count, he is on his 6th career. His first job was on Capital Hill, followed up with a stint in Wall Street. After that, he produced independent theater, and then got into marketing and advertising, being one of the early adopters of ad tech.

He's married with two daughters, and is a huge baseball fan (the Minnesota Twins specifically). He reads a lot of non fiction books, interestingly about public projects and how it portrays power distribution in the United States.

All along his career, he was involved in the prevention of human trafficking. He has family members running organizations focused on this specific philanthropic pursuit. The opportunity came about for Chris to utilize all the different skill sets he'd obtained over his career, plus his advocacy for fighting human trafficking... and with that, it was a no brainer for him to start his current venture.

This is the creation story of Krunam.
