// at Interrupt22

In late 2025, Ben co-founded Interrupt22. As Delivery & Commercial Director, he is responsible for end-to-end delivery, client relationships, go-to-market execution, commercial strategy and strategic partnerships, ensuring the Interrupt22 product and services roadmap is aligned with the real-world challenges facing modern business leaders. Unlike most commercial leaders, Ben is a hands-on engineer. He actively contributes to product development, project delivery, training and works directly with agentic engineering tools like Claude Code to build and ship solutions.

In addition, Ben serves as a strategic commercial and technical advisor to the board of Tyme Technologies, a specialist nearshore AI consultancy.

He led demonstrable growth across both practices and served as a thought leader at major events including AWS Summit, Gartner and Tech London Leaders.

Before Kyndryl, Ben spent 18 years at Capgemini. For 11 years he led architecture teams and designed large-scale enterprise IT systems, followed by seven years running a global cloud business supporting 50+ customers and processing hundreds of millions of daily transactions globally.
