About Christopher Locke
Global Head of Program at South Summit
Hi I'm Chris! I offer years of experience at the forefront of design and innovation, I am passionate about guiding aspiring professionals in navigating the dynamic and intersecting landscape of design x tech x business; sharing my unique perspective of the current global startup landscape and tech trends.
I've worn many hats over the years, ranging from design entrepreneur (launched and scaled 2 design companies) and startup board advisor, to global ecosystem builder.
I have gained invaluable insights into the mindset of successful founders. I learned how they approach problems with a unique perspective, act swiftly in a fast-paced market, and cultivate a relentless drive that transcends luck.
Currently, I serve as the Global Head of Program at South Summit, one of the world's leading innovation conferences welcoming +50,000 people to our global events every year, welcoming the world's leading founders and investors.

What mentees say
“Chris is a charm to talk to, he just doesn't stop adding his hard earned insights. If you're stuck somewhere, he can take you out. We spoke for like 90 minutes and it was all worth it. Great Session. Looking forward to more such great sessions with him. Thanks ADP!”
“Very Methodical and pleasant. Would be precise to say that Chris is an ideal mentor for people in the same field/direction. He took his time to hear my points out, took notes, subsequently had discussions and questions on the points and induced insights and clarity within me.”
“My session with Chris was amazing. I needed help understanding what skills and value I can bring to a company and Chris' thoughts and examples were super helpful. Job hunting can be very tiring and the chat with Chris really inspired me to push through and try different things.”
