Digital Media & Technology, Innovation & Adventure

In a word, I’m a storyteller – I help people figure out how to turn complex problems into simple, compelling solutions. And I try to get myself into some memorable escapades along the way.

Right now, I’m probably either:

Consulting on innovation & strategy at Loopers,

Sharing tools & processes for brighter business at Neoco (and its channels),

Building new products to improve: AI development, independent work, and more,

Chairing a global group for AI ethics standards,

Or maybe making films, writing, travelling… more on my roles here.

Note: this is my personal website. I rarely update it, some of the content is very old, and it’s missing a lot. If you want to know more about my work and current activities, you’re probably best finding me at LinkedIn.com/in/benbland and I sometimes blog at We Are Loopers.
