Chris LeFeaver joined Xbox Research in 2013 to lead the user research activities for Microsoft’s Vancouver Studios. His initial work focused on Big Park Studio’s Xbox One TV and App experiences, including the NFL, ESPN, and Bonnaroo apps.

With Microsoft’s acquisition of the Gears of War franchise he became the lead user researcher for the Coalition and was responsible for both GOW: Ultimate Edition and GOW 4.
