Christopher Meyer
Christopher Meyer is the founder of the US Micronesia Council and previously launched ProImpact Group, a social impact venture providing online college mentoring for first-generation students. He earlier founded SecurityWorks, Inc., where he advised Bretford Manufacturing for six years—helping prevent the closure of a U.S. factory and supporting revenue growth from $50 million to over $150 million. SecurityWorks also developed a line of patented edtech products successfully marketed in the U.S. education sector.
Chris also established AsiaGlobal, a business development consultancy, and conducted trade and investment promotion for Micronesia under U.S. government contract. Earlier in his career, he held senior roles at a California-based computer security firm, where he famously emailed Steve Jobs proposing physical security integration in Macs to help schools save money. That email led to an invitation to Apple and a meeting with Johny Ive, who revealed the soon-to-be-launched iMac and explored ways to incorporate his suggestions.
He also launched the China practice at PHH Fantus, the site selection arm of PHH Corporation. During the George H.W. Bush Administration, Chris served as Senior Associate for Asia at the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (now DFC), earning commendation for leading high-level bilateral missions to Indonesia, Portugal, Micronesia, and eastern Germany during reunification. He also served as Asia-Pacific Market Development Manager at a Fortune 500 U.S. consumer goods company, setting international revenue records.
Chris holds a B.A. in East Asian Studies from George Washington University and an international MBA from the University of Southern California. He and his wife Rebecca, a clinical psychologist specializing in neuropsychological testing, have three adult children. He’s currently cultivating a backyard orchard of avocado and lemon trees—grown from seed—as a long-term project. Let me know if you’d like to tailor this for a specific audience—e.g., grant applications, congressional briefings, or public-facing materials.
Kevin Conboy
Kevin Conboy continues three decades representing global providers and brand leaders in the enterprise software technology space, serving the world’s largest enterprises across private and public sectors, NGOs, and national defense in North America and beyond. He is committed to the thoughtful application of technology to empower stakeholders to change lives and alter failing trajectories by quickly solving rudimentary problems and pivot renewed focus to achieving high-value empirical outcomes. He promotes location-independent, gender-blind early STEM education coupled with career training for empowering the next generation of technologists, as these roles will end generational poverty inside this decade and geometrically expand the “range of what’s possible” anywhere in the newly connected, socially mobile world.
Kevin remains a long-time board member of Chicago’s Little City Foundation, a vibrant and thriving 56-acre campus community offering a needs-blind, comprehensive scope of services and family support to children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. He believes accountable, transparent government at local and national levels coupled with a socially responsible private sector that performs well are together the institutional conduits to systematically do good for many by templating, replicating, and celebrating joint success.
A three-time graduate of GWU, Kevin holds an M.S. from the School of Engineering and Applied Science, as well as an MBA and BBA. After numerous career relocations, he and his wife Nancy and three grown sons currently call Minneapolis home, where singles tennis, reformer Pilates, mountain biking, and a small but demanding West Highland Terrier round out the workweek.
