Chris Macek

Chris was founder and CEO of Relyon Media, which has been in operation from 1998 to 2016. Relyon developed large-scale software applications for US-based government projects, universities and the World Bank. Chris has been a software developer since the early 1980s, when he learned to develop applications on Radio Shack’s TRS-80 computer. In the 1990s, Chris started to see how large-scale database-driven applications often required data analysts to interpret their results and help businesses understand who needed to do what, based on data. He has brought graceful user experiences to applications ranging from the World Bank’s E&S Toolkit to SystemOne’s Aspect software. Chris earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from Middlebury College, and his Master’s degree in Education from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
