Hi, I’m Chris Fahey

I’m a product and UX design exec with 20 years of experience leading extraordinary design teams and building effective and elegant products, services, and experiences.

I’m passionate about product design and a nerd about technology. I’m at my best when I’m leading and inspiring designers and engineers to work together as teams, empowering everyone to thrive through effective collaboration.

I lead product design and user research at Lifion, ADP’s next-generation platform and portfolio of HR products. Basically we’re fixing all the software your HR department makes you use to do everything from getting paid to taking vacations.

What I do every day:

  • Build and lead our world-class design team and culture
  • Cultivate rock-solid design skills and craft
  • Create and refine collaborative product design processes
  • Facilitate and optimize design logistics and tactics
  • Define and implement product and business strategy
