About Christopher
A builder’s mindset.
A scientist’s judgment.
I’m Christopher Peters. My experience spans technical leadership, product development, and applied statistics — including CTO / Head of AI work at RIZZARR, Chief Scientist at Touch AI, and nine years at Zapier.
As Zapier’s ninth employee and first data scientist, I built the data team and helped establish its experimentation culture. I bring that combination of early-stage pragmatism and analytical discipline to the companies I work with.
I hold a Master of Applied Statistics from Louisiana State University, with a background in machine learning, econometrics, and experimental design.
