Chris Pan is a life hacker and growth advisor. He is building SpiritLab to bring creative activities such as singing, improv, painting, and cooking, and "inner technologies" such as meditation and tai chi to more people to help them feel better - emotionally, spiritually, and physically.
He is also advising startups (pave.com,
mybasis.com), a hedge fund (Matrix Capital Management), a musician (Peter Chung), and a non-profit (kollaboration.org).
Previously, Chris spent 4 years at Facebook growing users, advertisers, Page admins (organizations and celebrities), and mobile users. When Facebook experienced a growth slowdown, he taught himself SQL over his holiday break and figured out the key insight for retaining users. Before that, Chris was a Marketing Director at PepsiCo and a senior consultant at McKinsey.
