Chris “Buzz” O’Neil
Chris “Buzz” O’Neil is a hands-on Chief Technology Officer with over 20 years of experience building AI-driven platforms from zero to scale. He operates at the intersection of product innovation and corporate strategy, owning technical vision, engineering P&L, and the architectural decisions that determine whether a venture compounds or stalls. He is currently CTO at EverBetter, where he is architecting a multi-tenant, agentic AI-augmented EMR platform built on clinical digital twins, FHIR-RDF semantic data models, and Model Context Protocol infrastructure.
Early in his career, Chris built systems with zero margin for error, including nuclear weapons development, which established the engineering discipline he has applied across every domain since. He went on to drive product and platform innovation at Fortune 500 companies across cloud, mobile, and embedded systems, before leading high-growth ventures through the full 0-to-1-to-scale arc: a retail app with over 16 million installs, a FinTech platform with more than one million users, an advertising platform serving over 1,000 publishers, and a NASDAQ-listed SaaS company whose valuation grew from $25M to $120M during his tenure.
With 25+ patents and multiple industry awards for technical innovation, Chris combines deep systems thinking with the business acumen to translate AI capability into P&L outcomes. His current focus is agentic AI architecture: designing systems in which AI agents collaborate, reason over domain-specific knowledge graphs, and deliver measurable clinical and operational results. He is positioned for Build & Scale CTO roles at high-growth ventures where the technical mandate and the corporate strategy seat are the same job.
