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

Happ will drive AI-led change in enterprises and bring Virtuous AI’s product to market

LOS GATOS, California., July 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Virtuous AI is proud to announce the appointment of Chris Happ as the new CEO. Happ’s appointment on June 1, 2024marks a critical inflection point as Virtuous AI emerges from beta and is ready to execute a robust go-to-market strategy.

The most important development that Happ will drive is Virtuous AI’s groundbreaking new “AI in a Box” platform.

AI in a Box overcomes two main challenges in adopting AI in enterprises – complex technology and AI expertise. AI in a Box provides a complete enterprise AI technology platform that does not require deep AI expertise or exorbitant investments to deploy. With AI in a Box, companies of any size can get a customized AI proof-of-concept solution in as little as 90 days.

Leading innovations like this is a key feature of Happ’s proven track record of building and growing companies. He co-founded and CEO of blueSolutions before moving to Hubwoo (HBW.PA), building a global client list that included ExxonMobil, Chevron, Visa, AIG and Pfizer. Happ also co-founded Goby and led it to significant growth and eventually Conservice. As CEO of MarketTime, he led the company to 780% revenue growth in three years and placed it on the Inc 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America.

“With his vision and expertise, Chris is the perfect leader to take VAI to the forefront of enterprise AI solutions,” said Rory Donovanthe founder of Virtuous AI. “His appointment underscores our commitment to delivering cutting-edge AI technology to our customers.”

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

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

“I am proud to join the exceptional team at Virtuous AI at this groundbreaking time,” said Happ. “Virtuous AI offers an outstanding solution to the obstacles companies face in adopting AI. Our technology, combined with unlimited market opportunities, marks the beginning of further exciting developments in the B2B space.”
