Christopher Wylie is a social researcher and data scientist, as well as head of research at H&M Group. He has served as a senior adviser to both the British and Canadian governments. Wylie is also the former director of research for Cambridge Analytica and SCL Group, a UK-based military contractor specialising in information warfare.
In 2018, Wylie worked with The Guardian and The New York Times as a whistle-blower to expose how social media data was being exploited and turned against ordinary citizens. His testimonies at the United States Congress and British Parliament served as a wake-up call for many and have quickly led to new legislative proposals in both countries. Wylie is a graduate of the London School of Economics and lives in London.
