Christian Croft

Christian Croft - (He/Him) - Principal Product Manager at Microsoft GroupMe
Christian Croft never had AOL dial-up growing up, but he still managed to unlock boss-level access to the future. A new media artist turned product leader, his career spans tactical media art, gaming, social media, and conversational AI. Christian currently leads product for Microsoft GroupMe, where he focuses on building software for community connection, navigating AI’s next big wave, and occasionally crashing college campuses with taco trucks to vibe-check how people meet IRL.
His personal projects include road-tripping cross-country with a poetry robot and founding a satirical startup to critique early social media trends. Whether experimenting with software or culture, Christian is always on the lookout for clever ways to combine play and possibility.
