A United Nations top 100 entrepreneur under the age of 30, Syed’s blogs on improving websites to increase traffic, sales and conversions are ready by over 60 million people each year. His expertise of running websites that get billions of impressions each month has been translated into ExactMetrics, an easy to use plugin that attempts to level the playing field to let small business owners unlock the same insights that the large companies use to make their websites grow faster.

A heavy contributor to WordPress Core, representing the Plugins, Triage and Security teams, Chris has for years helped to make WordPress a better CMS experience for beginner WordPress users. He’s also a contributor to the PHP programming language, and has played a major hand in every eCommerce plugin for WordPress. With experience running large scale plugins and websites with millions of users, Chris is looking forward to being able to give small and medium WordPress businesses the same analytics breakthroughs that for years have been constrained only to large companies who can afford to have a website analytics team on staff.
