Christo­pher Con­way is the founder of GreenT Dig­i­tal, an infor­ma­tion tech­nol­ogy com­pany that spe­cial­izes in envi­ron­men­tally respon­si­ble tech­nol­ogy solu­tions for indi­vid­u­als and small busi­nesses. The com­pany is the real­iza­tion of his per­sonal pas­sion for tech­nol­ogy and the con­stant busi­ness need for less expen­sive, greener, and smarter tech­nol­ogy solu­tions. Chris’s pro­fes­sional back­ground laid the ground­work for his breadth of knowl­edge in the tech­nol­ogy space.

Chris began his career at Credit Suisse First Boston where he man­aged a vari­ety of tech­nol­ogy projects and iden­ti­fied tech­nol­ogy dri­ven busi­ness oppor­tu­ni­ties. His expe­ri­ence in tech­nol­ogy through the cor­po­rate lens was the cat­a­lyst for him to begin explor­ing the burgeon­ing tech­nol­ogy and inter­net–based busi­nesses. He sub­se­quently worked at sev­eral such com­pa­nies in man­age­ment roles. Most notably, Chris served as the Chief Oper­at­ing Offi­cer of Even­tide Inc., a devel­oper and man­u­fac­turer of pub­lic safety record­ing sys­tems, indus­try lead­ing audio and broad­cast equip­ment and avion­ics equip­ment. While at Even­tide he over­saw the tran­si­tion from solid-state record­ing tech­nol­ogy to a Linux-based server solu­tion that is now uti­lized by gov­ern­ment orga­ni­za­tions worldwide.

In his var­i­ous roles, one thing remained con­sis­tent. When exe­cut­ing the prac­ti­cal tech­nol­ogy needs of his com­pa­nies, Chris acted as both client and ven­dor, and was able to iden­tify and ser­vice many of his own needs. Prob­lem solv­ing these chal­lenges became a pas­sion that also helped his busi­ness endeav­ors to succeed.

So why did Chris go green? It was the per­fect inter­sec­tion of his desire to be envi­ron­men­tally respon­si­ble and fun­da­men­tal changes in tech­nol­ogy and the way it is used. The advent of Cloud Com­put­ing meant that doing more with less, thus the abil­ity to reduce our envi­ron­men­tal impact. So going green became smart busi­ness. GreenT Dig­i­tal was founded to put this idea into practice.
