Kris Holland — Founder
If you're reading this, feel free to connect. I'm actively looking for positions that allow me to stretch my skills; from ethics in AI, technology, startups, aerospace, heavy industry and mining, I'm open to any remote positions where I can bring a new and innovative perspective, finding solutions and opportunities in unexpected places; as manager, communicator or innovator. As a seasoned technology leader and innovator with over 20 years of experience spanning aerospace, VR/AR, and engineering, I specialize in bridging the understanding of complex technical challenges with practical business solutions. My career encompasses founding technology ventures, leading multi-million dollar projects for numerous global companies, developing groundbreaking VR as a founder, and 3D visualization solutions for NASA, the Pentagon, and major industry leaders. With a unique combination of technical expertise and vision, I excel at translating complex technical concepts for diverse stakeholders while identifying and solving critical challenges before they impact project success. Recently, I have taken a strong interest in Artificial Intelligence and its relationship to ethics and business transformation. I have been invited as a thought leader on several AI-focused podcasts to discuss the intersection of technology, innovation, and responsible development. My diverse background enables me to identify patterns and opportunities across seemingly unrelated fields, transforming abstract concepts into actionable strategies. This capacity for strategic synthesis has consistently led to innovative solutions - from developing new photogrammetry processes for VR environments to conceptualizing space-based power systems. I excel at understanding complex systems and their interconnections, allowing me to anticipate challenges and identify opportunities that create meaningful impact beyond immediate technical requirements. My approach combines analytical rigor with creative problem-solving, enabling teams to navigate complex technological landscapes while maintaining focus on practical outcomes. My skills have helped my clients raise over $4B in various funding rounds. Feel free to reach out!
