Chris Evans
Co-Founder & CPO

I'm one of the co-founders and the Chief Product Officer of incident.io. I've spent my whole career working in engineering.

Immediately before founding incident.io, I worked at Monzo (a UK bank) where I led Platform engineering, On-call and Incident Management.

I spent a tonne of time working on the intersection of engineering side of incidents with other parts of the organisation, like customer support, risk and compliance, and the board.

Words here are my own, unless they get me in trouble, in which case they're all incident.io's.
