Will Blaze / Director, Talent Acquisition

At a surface level, stakeholders loved working with our team. But when we tried to dig into specific feedback, we’d get a rose-colored view of the world. They wouldn’t want to give us direct feedback until something had gone wrong. We suspected there were ways we could improve, but we just weren’t hearing them.

Meet Our Founder

An engineer, designer, and operational leader who’s been on both sides of the table

Ben Jackson is our founder and an expert in residence at Wharton’s Venture Lab. Previously, he was the Director of Mobile at Vice Media, and a lead iOS engineer at The New York Times, where he helped launch the paywall that drives over 90% of subscriptions today.

Over 20 years in tech, Ben has seen how most “performance issues” boil down to people talking past each other. And with AI making individuals more productive while teams become less productive, that insight has never been more relevant.

Ben’s insights on organizational performance have appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, Morning Brew, and Fast Company.
