Christian Dawson is Executive Director of the Internet Infrastructure Coalition (i2Coalition) where he works to make the Internet a better, safer place for the businesses that make up the Cloud. Dawson is also Co-founder of Open-i Advisors Inc.

Dawson spent 16 years as an executive at web hosting provider ServInt. While there, he co-founded the Save Hosting initiative, designed to galvanize web hosting providers in their opposition of PIPA & SOPA. He went on to help co-found the i2Coalition to ensure that those who build the infrastructure of the Internet have a voice in all matters of public policy that affect them. He is a staunch advocate for Internet freedom as a tool for social and economic growth by fostering the growth and expansion of the Internet economy.

While i2Coalition allows Dawson to fight for the Internet industry, with Open-i Advisors he helps provide tools to individual companies within that space to let them grow. Open-i Advisors' mission is to focus on quantitative data for competitive industries. Our vision is a system that allows investors, creditors, analysts, and individual businesses to make smart decisions based on hard quantitative market data, in markets for which hard quantitative data has long been elusive.
