In 1983, with a B. S. Economics / Mathematics from King's College, Kris entered mergers and acquisitions at Goldman Sachs. He later moved to the quantitative strategies group run by Fischer Black where he built one of the first fully electronic trading systems. This powerful system traded up to 12% of the volume on the New York stock exchange between 1983 and 1987. After the crash of 1987, he left Goldman to consult with banks that sought to implement this technology including: Swiss Bank Corporation, Bank of America and Salomon Brothers.

In 1993, while at Sun Microsystems he developed a craving for entrepreneurial ventures. His first start-up was Capital Technologies. CapTech developed SiteRock, a outsource system administration organization of over 100 professionals and FogLight a network monitoring system. FogLight was acquired by Quest Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: QSFT) and SiteRock by Navisite, Inc. (NASDAQ: NAVI). In 1997, Kris left CapTech to be the lead investor and President of the Web-based investment research firm, ClearStation.com. After 18 months of aggressive growth, Kris guided the sale of the company to E*TRADE Financial (NYSE: ET). He is currently President of adaptiveARC, and Managing Partner at Indigo Capital Management, LLC where he created pingnote.com and blink12.com and provides early-stage guidance to several startups.
