Christopher Wallwork is a seasoned full-stack engineer with a distinguished career spanning advanced aerospace, defense, and semiconductor industries. He contributed to high-impact projects such as the International Space Station and worked with the U.S. Air Force on cutting-edge pulse-power technology to disable improvised explosive devices. Chris also retooled semiconductor fabrication lines and pioneered multi-dimensional data visualization tools well before the advent of virtual reality.

An early believer in blockchain, Chris read the Bitcoin whitepaper in 2011 and has since invested in foundational crypto projects, including Bitcoin and Ethereum. His deep technical insight and forward-thinking approach have made him a respected figure in the crypto ecosystem.

Chris met EZO’s founder Charles-André Bergeron in 2024 and was inspired by his mission to drive financial inclusion across Africa through modern financial infrastructure. Impressed by EZO’s vision and technological roadmap, Chris became one of the company’s earliest investors and continues to serve as an advisor, offering critical guidance on product development, architecture, and scaling.

I was very impressed with his idea of creating an app for the unbanked in Africa, focused on banking the unbanked and underprivileged, rather than unbanking the banked with crypto. Most people in Africa have phones but no bank account, as they don’t meet the numbers and criteria required by banks. I understand the economics, and it doesn’t make sense for banks to serve low-income individuals when their systems carry high overhead.”
