Chris Dadd

I help charities, social enterprises and not-for-profits make practical use of digital technology and AI to improve services, communications, learning and operations.

My work sits between strategy and delivery. I help organisations understand what digital and AI tools can realistically do for them, prioritise the right opportunities, and turn ideas into clear plans, websites, e-learning approaches, content systems, automations and supplier briefs.

I have a BSc in Computer Science and over 30 years’ experience leading and delivering innovative digital services across corporate, start-up and not-for-profit settings, including RBS/NatWest, Avis, Visa, IBM, Ukash, Cancer Central and Giving Africa. I am a former Chief Product Officer and now work with purpose-led organisations that need clear, practical digital guidance without unnecessary complexity.

Key Skills/Consultancy Specialisms:

Key Projects:
