Virtuous AI appoints Chris Happ as new CEO to transform enterprise AI with "AI in a Box"

Happ will drive AI-led shift in enterprises, bringing Virtuous AI's product to market

LOS GATOS, Calif., July 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Virtuous AI is proud to announce the appointment of Chris Happ as its new Chief Executive Officer. Happ's appointment on June 1, 2024, marks a pivotal turn as Virtuous AI emerges from the beta phase, ready to implement a robust go-to-market strategy. 

Foremost of the developments that Happ will spearhead is Virtuous AI's groundbreaking new "AI in a Box" platform.

"AI in a Box" overcomes two primary challenges of AI adoption in the enterprise – complex technology and AI expertise.  "AI in a Box" offers a complete AI technology platform for enterprises that does not require deep AI expertise or exorbitant investments to deploy. With "AI in a Box," businesses of all sizes can have a custom AI proof of concept solution in just 90 days.

Leading the charge on innovations like this is a primary mark of Happ's proven track record in building and growing companies. He co-founded and served as CEO at blueSolutions before exiting to Hubwoo (HBW.PA), building a global customer list including ExxonMobil, Chevron, Visa, AIG, and Pfizer. Happ also co-founded and led Goby to significant growth and eventual exit to Conservice. As CEO at MarketTime, he led the firm to 780% revenue growth over three years landing them on the Inc 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in America.

"Chris's vision and expertise make him the perfect leader to position VAI at the forefront of enterprise-class AI solutions," said Rory Donovan, the founder of Virtuous AI. "His appointment underscores our commitment to delivering cutting-edge AI technology to our clients."

Donovan initially led the Virtuous AI team as CEO during product development. His groundbreaking graduate research in neuro-prosthetics led to the development of a highly efficient brain-computer interface. This breakthrough resulted in a new AI model architecture that has outperformed others in both accuracy and efficiency.

Now, as Chief Technology Officer, Donovan will focus on his passion: advancing AI model architecture. With Donovan's original product now complete, Virtuous AI has confidently brought on Happ as a visionary commercial leader with over 25 years of experience in growing and scaling innovative, high-growth B2B software companies.

"I'm proud to join the exceptional team at Virtuous AI during this landmark time," said Happ. "Virtuous AI offers a standout solution for the obstacles enterprises face as they adopt AI. Our technology, combined with unlimited market opportunity, mark the start of more exciting B2B enterprise developments ahead."
