Civic Innovation Office

In collaboration with the Mayor’s Office and Bloomberg Philanthropies, Chris played a key role in launching the City of Toronto’s Civic Innovation Office—a pioneering initiative aimed at transforming how municipal government engages with residents, technology, and change.

Designed to act as a bridge between public servants and external innovators, the office was built to challenge the status quo inside City Hall and accelerate the development of people-centered solutions. Its mission: to foster a more agile, responsive government that delivers meaningful outcomes for the communities it serves.
