Hello!
I’m Chris Wilson, a passionate health advocate, and all-around people-person with over 18 years of experience in creating and leading programs that make a real difference. If you’re wondering about my professional side, I’ve been that guy who loves to dream big, design impactful programs, and harness data to fuel innovative strategies. I’m deeply committed to diversity, inclusion, and empowering individuals from all walks of life.
​
My career has been a wild and wonderful ride through the world of digital health and social justice. From co-designing the youth people at Peer Health Exchange—where we developed the award-winning mental health app, selfsea®.org—to managing capacity-building initiatives at ETR Associates and leading critical health programs at the Black AIDS Institute, I’ve always been driven by one thing: making a difference for those who need it most.
My Story
Hi, I’m Chris Wilson, and my journey into the world of health and social justice started with a simple, but powerful, passion for equity and empowerment. With a background in sociology and a Master’s in Public Health from UCLA, I’ve spent nearly two decades working at the intersection of digital health, youth engagement, and community development.
​
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of leading some pretty cool initiatives. Whether it was co-designing a mental health app with young people, strategizing with non-profits, or developing capacity-building programs, I’ve always aimed to integrate the needs and voices of underserved populations. My goal has always been to create solutions that are not just impactful but also truly relevant to the people they serve.
​
Founding GenThriveTech is, for me, the ultimate culmination of my experiences and my unwavering commitment to social justice. I saw a critical need for specialized consulting and capacity-building services tailored to organizations that serve underserved, underrepresented, and underestimated young people, people of color, and LGBTQ+ communities. So, I decided to bridge that gap. My vision for GenThriveTech is to empower these organizations with the tools, strategies, and support they need to maximize their impact and create lasting positive change.
​
I genuinely believe that technology, when used thoughtfully and collaboratively, can be a powerful force for good. At GenThriveTech, we’re all about leveraging digital health, human-centered design, and strategic planning to help organizations navigate the complexities of serving marginalized communities. Together, we can achieve our mission of fostering healthy, empowered individuals.
