Dr Chris Parker
Gov3
After a 14 year career as a high-flying civil servant in the UK government, Chris founded his own business – gov3 limited – in September 2004. In the five years previous to this, he had been Deputy e-Envoy to the UK’s Prime Minister, and Chief Operating Officer of the Office of the e-Envoy. In this role, he led the team at the heart of the UK government which developed and delivered one of the world’s most successful strategies to create a Knowledge Society. The strategy successfully moved the UK economy from being one which, in 1999, lagged behind the other major economies in embracing the Internet, to one which is a world leader. After successfully meeting all the stretching targets which had been set by the Prime Minister in 1999, Chris wound up the Office of the e-Envoy in 2004. Along with other senior civil servants from the Office of the e-Envoy, in September 2004 Chris launched gov3 – providing strategic advice and support to Government leaders responsible for driving IT-enabled transformation, within the public sector and across the wider economy
