Chris Langstaff
A strategist and builder with an MBA. For a decade at Nike I led AI, analytics, and product across Portland and Europe, and before that I built analytical software for the U.S. defense and intelligence community. Calafai is where those trades meet.
My work sits where business strategy, technology, and design meet, in that order. I frame the problem, build the analysis, write the code, and make the business case. Design is how the work gets made clear and usable; strategy is what it is for. Most organizations need three people for that.
