Chris Busse to Lead SingleStone’s Human-Centered AI Innovation as Chief AI Officer

SingleStone Consulting, a leader in data and technology solutions, is proud to announce the hiring of Chris Busse as its new Chief AI Officer. Chris will lead the firm’s AI strategy, helping clients harness the power of artificial intelligence to drive innovation, improve decision-making, and deliver exceptional customer experiences.  

Chris brings nearly three decades of experience at the intersection of technology, product strategy, and digital transformation. Prior to joining SingleStone, he served as Chief Digital Officer at Terazo, where he led platform strategy and delivery for clients across industries. His career has spanned leadership roles in software engineering, API strategy, and enterprise architecture, with a consistent focus on building scalable, human-centered solutions.

“We’re excited to welcome Chris to the team,” said Jimmy Chou, CEO of SingleStone. “Chris is an AI transformation services leader, with deep experience in financial services and regulated industries. He brings a thoughtful perspective on AI that begins with how people work, then applies the right tools to help them work better. As the AI landscape shifts from testing pilots to full-scale enterprise integration and value, Chris offers the kind of practical, human-centered leadership our clients need. He will play a central role in shaping our AI strategy, expanding our capabilities, and working side by side with clients to turn potential into outcomes.”

As part of this transition, David Der, who previously served as Chief AI Officer, will remain with the firm as an AI industry advisor. David’s leadership was instrumental in establishing SingleStone’s AI foundation, and his continued involvement will ensure a seamless evolution of the firm’s AI vision.

“I’m excited to join a team that has a decades-long track record of continuous innovation in technical delivery,” said Chris. “AI is fundamentally reshaping the way software and technical solutions are planned, built, and maintained, and I look forward to working side-by-side with our teams and clients to build solutions with both emerging and proven AI platforms in a way that recognizes the humanity of all involved.”
