About Chris Ordal

Chris Ordal is an entrepreneurial creative building empathy-powered technology. His lifelong passion for storytelling led to a career in independent film. Ordal wrote, produced and directed the feature film, EARTHWORK (starring Academy Award nominee John Hawkes) which led to travel across the country and world for it\'s festival and theatrical run. During these travels the realization of the entertainment industry\'s future inevitably led by technology became clear and a shift into producing more scalable storytelling products became his mission. Once again producing \"independently,\" Ordal founded Jogg and within 90 days of starting the new venture, had secured investment from The Walt Disney Company and partnerships across multiple business units as part of the Disney Accelerator. Ordal currently serves as CEO of Jogg, which has expanded into a growing, innovative company designing and engineering video-powered curation solutions that exploit the power of technology for the benefit of humanity (not the other way around). Jogg\'s products are used across a diverse set of industries including research, marketing, political advocacy, healthcare, education, events and more.
