Chris Cowperthwaite
Founder & Principal
I am passionate about working with teams to problem solve and grow by shaping winning strategies and championing adoption of new digital technology. I founded Groundforce Digital to work on digital transformation in the third sector and help cross-functional teams design and develop highly usable and scalable products.
​
I have worked extensively on public affairs and civic engagement campaigns because I care deeply about making contributions that can have a positive local impact. I currently lead OCAD University's art and design business accelerator and sales platform, Fineline.
​
Volunteer service is one of my core values, demonstrated through a track record of leadership in fund development and director roles for nationally-recognized higher education, 2SLGBTQ+ community and open democracy initiatives. I currently Chair the board of the Open Democracy Project, am a member of the technology advisory committee of the Art Canada Institute and am the Third Sector Ambassador for the Queen's Smith School of Business Master of Digital Product Management.
