Chris Watson

Hello! I'm Chris Watson, based in Wellington, New Zealand 🇳🇿 Day job: CDO at Black Pearl Group, a dual-listed (NZX/ASX) venture studio. Most of my time goes on agentic systems in production, large-scale identity resolution, and GTM data infrastructure across our portfolio. I'm a build-it-myself type person! Excited to work on: growing the Wellington Claude community. Just ran a meetup with 230+ attendees and I'm pushing toward an Impact Lab in August. Keen to compare notes with people who are getting agents to do real, reliable work in production rather than demos.
