Chris Simmance has spent fifteen years in digital marketing, most of it learning expensive lessons about what actually moves the needle versus what just looks good in a pitch deck. He built and sold a digital agency with offices in London and Manchester, served hundreds of clients across more sectors than he can count, and made every mistake worth making along the way.

Now he runs The OMG Center, where he helps digital agency owners grow without the usual chaos. He also co-founded Enterprise Skills, an EdTech platform that develops the competencies that survive when AI automates the spreadsheet jockeys out of existence: commercial awareness, decision-making, adaptability. The kind of skills that matter regardless of what the job market becomes.

Chris holds the Freedom of the City of London and is a Liveryman in the Worshipful Company of Entrepreneurs, which is as gloriously medieval as it sounds and involves far more good wine than you'd expect. He judges the UK, EU and eCommerce Digital Marketing Awards, speaks at industry events on leadership and business growth, and occasionally writes things people find useful.

When investors ask him about AI disruption, his answer is straightforward: the orchestration jobs are being automated. The human judgment, adaptability, and commercial instinct that machines cannot replicate? That's what remains. And that's precisely what he's building.

Christina is Senior Manager of Engagement and Partnerships at GoFundMe, where she has spent the past six years working at the intersection of creators, causes, and social impact. Her work focuses on how influencers can use their platforms to drive socially conscious online behaviour and mobilise their audiences around causes they genuinely care about, in ways that are authentic, credible, and sustainable.

She leads a mix of proactive and organic creator engagement, connecting influencers with verified causes transparently, including during moments of crisis. This work supports fast, trusted fundraising in response to major global and local events, while also building longer-term creator relationships across social and livestreaming platforms. GoFundMe is the world leader in online fundraising, with 91 percent brand awareness among Gen Z, and Christina’s work helps translate that trust and scale into meaningful, creator-led impact.
