About
Achievements
Benny has always been involved with innovative technology ventures from hardware, software, advanced/predictive analytics (AI), consumer, to enterprise. A number of which focused on disruptive innovations. Previously, he has played key roles from product engineering (Actel), product (Transmeta IPO: TMTA), to operations (Midori Linux developed by Linus Torvalds), to co-founding/investing (BeyondCore – acquired by SalesForce), to cofounding/investing in Voyadi. After more than ten thousand hours of building technology companies, he recognizes technology by itself isn’t enough. It is what inspired him to get a deeper understanding of people through the work done by Abraham Maslow. He graduated from Stanford University with a MS in electrical engineering and a BSEE with high honors from University of Florida. He enjoys contributing to the local community, whether it is mentoring (Stanford StartX, GEM, Singapore NUSEA), advising technology startups, or giving times to help others.
