About Ben C.
I am a senior technology leader with 15+ years building and leading platform engineering and shared services organizations for enterprise SaaS and large-scale consumer platforms. I specialize in core platform foundations including internal developer platforms, CI/CD and developer tooling, identity and access, reliability, observability, and cloud cost governance that enable teams to build and operate software predictably at scale.Blending strategic thinking with hands-on leadership has helped me drive 99.99% uptime, deliver multimillion-dollar cloud savings, stand up unified delivery frameworks, and build scalable data and developer ecosystems. I work closely with product, finance, and operations to make sure we’re aligned, so we can execute multi-year tech roadmaps and keep moving the business forward.I am typically brought in during periods of growth or acquisition to stabilize platforms, establish clear standards and ownership, and partner with product, finance, security, and operations leaders to turn strategy into enforceable delivery systems.
