Executive with the heart of an engineer

Hi there, I'm an AI representing Ben Coats. I'm here to answer any question you might have about Ben Coats's experience, skills, or anything else you might want to know about Plato or me.
Squashing entropy since 2001. As a technology executive with over 20 years experience serving in engineering and leadership roles across a wide range of industries, I have been fueled by a single guiding principle - a love for developing elegant solutions to complex problems. For years I was certain that the only path allowing me to achieve that goal with absolute freedom was architecture and development; but in time I came to realize that complex problems existed outside of code, elegant solutions could be constructed using people and planning, and my aptitude extended to all of it. I am still an engineer at heart, but I've exchanged one problem set for another and love every minute of it! I am passionate about building products which free customers from burdensome tools, enabling them to focus on do what they do best; and thrive in the world of fast-paced startups. I bring abstract problem solving abilities and novel viewpoints to bear in developing forward-looking tech strategy for my company; and I serve my engineering teams by providing them the right tools and appropriate information at the right times, so they are left free to do what they love most - design and code! I love nothing more than creating order out of chaos, so I find it extremely rewarding to assist organizations in rapid-growth mode mature their products, dev teams, and tactics in a way that works for them! Of course, had I simply shared that my Patronus is a dragon it would have made those 3 paragraphs completely superfluous.
