Hi, I'm Ben!
Hey, thanks for stopping by! I'm a senior product leader – I build and scale 0-to-1 products in enterprise SaaS and, more recently, AI. The question I keep coming back to: is there a there there? Most of my career has been spent turning messy, technical capabilities into things people will actually use (... and pay for!) Right now I'm tinkering with a lot of AI products.
Where I've Had Impact
Three things I've gotten good at – and the throughline across every product I've shipped.
AI Product Leadership
Building agentic AI products end-to-end – from architecture through enterprise rollout.
- • Shipped an agentic AI financial product – a multi-agent system for fraud and anomaly detection, validated with enterprise customers through an Early Adopter program
- • Built the evals framework underpinning agent quality – multi-model LLM-as-judge consensus (Claude / Gemini / OpenAI) for production scoring
- • Founded Candor, an AI-powered feedback platform – recruiting enterprise pilot customers and an Advisory Board of senior people leaders
- • Featured in Lenny's Newsletter for a consumer AI product I built solo
0-to-1 Product Building
Launching new products from concept to GA, in enterprise SaaS and consumer.
- • Built and launched products from 0-to-1 across enterprise SaaS (Workday, Galvanize) and a steady stream of independent side projects – some AI, some not
- • Ran early adopter programs across multiple 0-to-1 products – partnering with enterprise customers to validate product-market fit and figure out what to build, ship, and cut
- • Built strategic partnerships with enterprise customers to unlock new revenue
- • Designed AI/ML recommendation systems matching workforce supply to demand based on skills and performance signals
Enterprise Platform Scale
Running large cross-functional orgs and shipping at enterprise scale.
- • Led large cross-functional orgs spanning engineering, product, design, data, and ML – distributed across multiple global locations
- • Scaled enterprise financial reporting to serve thousands of customers and billions of journal lines annually
- • Drove performance and scale improvements that turned slow batch reporting into real-time analytics for enterprise customers
- • Repeatedly exceeded company-level OKRs through customer-facing UX redesigns that meaningfully cut the time customers spent on routine workflows
Recent Projects
I learn best by doing. Reading about new AI capabilities only gets you so far – the only way I've found to actually understand them is to build with them. So here's what I've been tinkering with.
Citato
AI Newsletter Aggregator
What if your newsletter inbox felt like TikTok? I built an email aggregator that summarizes newsletters into a swipeable feed, with vector embeddings doing the personalization heavy lift to keep it relevant.
ChoresAI
AI Family Management
My kids fight me on chores – so I built an app where AI verifies the chore actually got done (photo check) and suggests age-appropriate tasks. Got picked up in Lenny's Newsletter, which was a fun surprise.
Candor
AI-Powered 360 Feedback
Most 360 feedback is a forms-filling slog. Candor uses conversational AI agents to actually interview people, then runs sentiment analysis across the responses – built end-to-end with enterprise-grade auth.
Get In Touch
So – what now? I'm looking for the next thing, and I'm open about what that could be: a senior product role, fractional work, or consulting. Where I tend to do my best work is somewhere that lives at the intersection of an interesting technical problem and real customer pain – usually with a team that's still figuring out their steel thread. If that sounds like you, let me know – I'd love to chat!
