Melvyn Morris CBE is an English businessman and the CEO and co-founder of Corpora.ai, an AI research engine.
Morris gained a large part of his fortune through his successful startup investment in King, the firm behind the mobile game Candy Crush Saga.
Morris is also known for his tenure as owner of Derby County. His ownership resulted in debts accrued and ultimately ending in relegation to the third tier of English football for the third time since the club's formation in 1884.
