Christopher Kenna is a British entrepreneur, military veteran and media innovator whose career spans technology, creativity, and diversity leadership. Raised in care, he joined the British Army at sixteen and went on to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan before an injury ended his service. The resilience he built through these experiences shaped his transition into the media and technology industries, where he has established a series of ventures at the intersection of innovation and representation.
Chris is the Founder and CEO of Media Stream AI, a company delivering fully personalised live television channels through its IntuiTV brand. He is also spearheading the development of the UK’s first canal-cooled AI data centre in Manchester, combining robotics and renewable water-based cooling to create sustainable infrastructure for advanced computing, virtual production, and artificial intelligence. His focus is on developing technology that redefines broadcast experiences while addressing environmental responsibility.
Previously, Chris founded Brand Advance, a global platform that helped leading brands engage authentically with underrepresented communities. He has also contributed to advisory boards across the media and cultural sectors, including the Conscious Advertising Network and the Victoria and Albert Museum. As an openly gay, mixed-race father, Chris's commitment to inclusion is deeply personal. He brings a unique perspective on the importance of representation and fairness, an outlook which continues to shape his work and influence.
Chris' achievements have been recognised with awards such as Innovator of the Year at the Ex-Forces in Business Awards, listings in the British LGBT Awards Top 10 on three occasions, and inclusion in both the EMPower 100 Ethnic Minority Executives and the OUTstanding Top 100 LGBT Executives. In 2023, he was named among the Top 20 Marketing Influencers by the Technology for Marketing Index.
