Biography

Ben Gold is an AI strategist and consultant with over 20 years of experience in the technology sector, primarily in enterprise sales and digital solutions. He has spent his career at the intersection of technology and business, helping organizations navigate the complex landscape of artificial intelligence adoption and implementation. By bridging the gap between technical concepts and real-world business objectives, Ben enables companies to harness the transformative power of AI for increased efficiency, innovation, and competitive advantage.

In his consulting and speaking work, Ben demystifies AI and makes it accessible to non-technical audiences. He is passionate about simplifying AI adoption across every department – from the C-suite to the front lines – ensuring that everyone in an organization can understand and leverage AI tools. Renowned for focusing on actionable steps over theory, he works hands-on with teams to deliver rapid, tangible results (often achieving significant efficiency gains within 90 days) using readily available off-the-shelf AI tools. Having worked with a diverse range of clients, from startups to enterprise companies, Ben brings deep insights into the opportunities and challenges of AI across industries and functions. He also advises on change management, talent upskilling, and ethical considerations to foster a culture that embraces innovation.

Ben’s international experience further enriches his perspective – he spent a decade working in Europe and speaks multiple languages, giving him a unique global outlook on technology adoption. He is committed to responsible and human-centric AI development, frequently helping organizations create governance frameworks to ensure ethical AI use. An innovator at heart (and even a former video game world champion in his youth), Ben Gold combines technical expertise, business acumen, and an engaging storytelling style to empower organizations to thrive in an AI-driven era.

"Instead of one discovery call per week, we're averaging five per week since implementing Ben's AI methodology — it's been a huge unlock. The time we save prepping for calls is massive — calls are better, the conversion rate is higher, and we're more focused." Brandon Frank, CEO at PPC
"What we really value about Ben, besides his great knowledge about AI, is his pedagogic approach. He knows how to share AI, how to teach people to embrace it, and how to make them understand its usage, which is rare. He's opened everybody's appetite to learn more about AI and to understand that it's not just a tool to replace people. It's actually a tool that will make everybody more performant, more able to deliver better, and to take their skills to the next level." Marcel Prioteasa, CEO, NetBet
"Ben's presentations have been exceptional. We've received phenomenal feedback from parents and students alike. Anyone can introduce and teach AI to an adult. But teaching it to 10-year-olds? That's a challenge. The way he introduced the subject to them and gradually took the discussion to such a level that in a couple of days, they were making and playing with their own AI chatbots! That is phenomenal!" Mirza Faizan, Founder, DiscoverSTEM
