With a background in data, analytics, growth and product, Benjamin advises the team on developing our capabilities and infrastructure as a data-driven firm.
An active angel investor and startup advisor, Benjamin was previously Global Chief Digital Officer at Advent International – one of the world’s top buyout funds – where he led AdventLabs, a team of data scientists, engineers, research analysts and product managers building a digital platform for the private equity deal process.
Previously, Benjamin was Partner and Head of Growth at Atomico, where he focused on consumer, subscription/SaaS, marketplaces and games investments, and helped portfolio companies scale. Prior to that he worked in product and growth leadership roles on four billion-user products: Gmail, Google Maps, Facebook and Facebook Messenger.
Before working in technology, Benjamin was a professional chef, who received a degree in Culinary Arts from the Culinary Institute of America. He worked in top restaurants in the US, Italy and France, refining his craft, but eventually the draw of ‘bits over bites’ was too much for him to resist. Away from work he focuses on health and fitness, enjoying training at the gym, cycling and yoga.
