Emergency management and software, on one team.

Patrick leads Hazzard's strategy, operations, customer development, and go-to-market efforts. His career has focused on helping organizations understand risk, prepare for uncertainty, and make better decisions before consequences become unavoidable.

A former Marine Corps infantry officer, Patrick later co-authored Left of Bang and went on to work across emergency management, disaster response, consulting, training, and preparedness. He co-founded The CP Journal, where his work with emergency managers, public safety agencies, local governments, and other organizations helped surface the problem Hazzard is built to address: critical risk information is often split across plans, studies, departments and consultants.

At Hazzard, Patrick makes sure the platform matches how organizations actually manage risk, and that it is useful to the people making those decisions.

Chris leads Hazzard's product, engineering, and technical architecture. He builds software and AI that help people work from the same body of information, with the source and the review still attached.

He studied cultural anthropology: how communities form, share what they know, and solve problems together. After traveling through more than 30 countries, he started writing software, first for travel startups and then for enterprise systems at Xero.

At Palantir he was a Forward Deployed Engineer on Foundry, AIP, and OSDK, putting AI into production for enterprise customers. At Guild he was a Senior Engineering Manager, leading eight engineers on data integration for more than 60 Fortune 500 companies. At Hazzard he builds the data layer, the AI workflows, and the review systems the platform runs on.
