Bio
Working on something new - keen to connect with hardware-turned-software engineers. Prior to Invaria, Ben spent almost 5 years at Palantir, mixing code and sales. Most recently he led the company's zero-to-one effort in the EMEA Utilities sector – an engineer in the deep end of sales. He was founding Principal Engineer at deep tech startup, Oxford Flow. The startup spun out of Oxford Uni's aerospace lab, where he had carried out his PhD research in jet engine aerodynamics.
