ABOUT ME
Hi I’m Ben, welcome to my site.
I have lived and worked with digital technology my whole life, always fascinated by its impact on society and its unique ability to change lives. I have worked through two massive waves of digital innovation, the dotcom era and the unstoppable rise of mobile. I’m now immersed and focused on the next important digital wave - the amazing opportunities of Data, Cloud and AI
I'm privileged to have worked with some of the world’s greatest companies, helping them to build customer focused digital strategies in a disruptive world. Digital and data transformation is an essential strategy for any modern business, particularly in a world fuelled by AI. My passion is to help business connect data and simplify technology so that it works for everyone.
I'm continuously thinking about digital ecosystems and how data, tech and AI can be used to improve the status quo. What is essential? What provides a competitive advantage? What is noise and distraction?
If this sounds interesting, then let's have a chat.
