Boy Wonder

Fast Company - April 2009

Chris Huges, Facebook co-founder says that he “doesn’t really know what ‘community’ means.” Part anthropologist, part marketer, part human factors specialist – Chris does understand that customer service is number one and has used that principle to fuel the growth of Facebook and lead digital interactive strategies for the Obama campaign’s website my.barackobama.com .

Chris’ passion for making technology “less obsessive and simpler for everyone to use” is fueled by his desire to build genuine connections between people and brands. Hughes says that “it doesn’t matter if it’s a company or a campaign; you build around commonality. if it’s real people and real communities, then it’s valuable. Otherwise, its just playing around online.”
