About Chris Auzenne

10 years in the tech industry delivering both end-user and internal products, experiences, features and processes. Adept at developing and executing on technical strategies that emphasize scalability and efficiency through automation, customization and centralization. A natural affinity for building partnerships and facilitating the formation of amazing cross-functional teams.I am an experienced global people leader who has managed and grown large technical teams at Meta. My style is personal, collaborative and caring. My goal is to give everyone on a team, or in a project, a strong sense of ownership and the opportunity to do the best work of their careers.I like to build things that are intuitive, efficient and effective. A great example of this is the monetization eligibility API I built at Meta, which not only aligned multiple product teams internally, creating engineering and operational efficiencies for the company, but powered our end-user monetization eligibility experience, which you can read a bit about it here: also like to collaborate in my free time. I make music with others, co-host a book club, participate in a regular D&D game, and stay connected with my network, regularly checking in to see how people are doing and how I can help them.
