“I’ve been a ‘spectator’ in my life,” says Chris Powell. “Interested in many things, but never passionate about any one thing. To my mother’s great dismay and angst, I had no clear path: I stumbled through life reacting to things as they came to me.” Perpetually seeking opportunities that can become great stories, Chris pushed himself to new limits in January 2018 by participating in the South Pole Energy Challenge expedition led by Robert Swan. Never one to choose the ordinary path, Chris’ training included dragging a steel sled through his neighborhood and cryotherapy sessions. “As I found myself stumbling toward the South Pole, I realized that sometimes you find your passion, and sometimes it finds you.” A graduate of Penn State, Chris is Chief Marketing Officer of Commvault, a $2.4B publicly-traded software company headquartered in NJ. A self-described “terrible” athlete, he runs, bikes, and tackles triathlons. “Don’t Be A Spectator” “I’ve been a ‘spectator’ in my life,” says Chris Powell. “Interested in many things, but never passionate about any one thing.

I think about renewable resource innovation every week. Like, cleaning new York waterways to make small plots of farmland to grow food inside he city. And having the entire city of new to have a metropolitan parking and drivable underground but above the subway. It would have streets parking and lobbies to the above ground buildings. And it would be under the ENTIRE CITY OF NEW YORK. And have the surface for pedestrian and bikes. Reducing pollution.
