Leadership

Chris Moustakas

President & Chief Executive Officer

Chris is responsible for the health and long-term growth of a company with fantastic technology and incredible team members.

A graduate of Caltech in Astronomy with Honors, Chris entered the enterprise software industry right after graduation. He helped design and build mission-critical applications in industries as varied as Insurance, Banking, Healthcare, and Utilities before realizing that what made many of those applications hard to build had nothing to do with the businesses they were supporting. The answer, which is to abstract underlying components into a collection of industry-agnostic engines, came to life in the DevonWay platform.

Today, Chris is passionate about helping organizations of any size become more agile and improve their operations by adopting this platform approach to their digital needs. When he’s not working, Chris enjoys exercising in Golden Gate Park, playing soccer, diving, visiting family in Greece, traveling, and spending time with his son, who’s growing up way too fast.
