Summary
Ben Griffiths is a seasoned software leader with nearly two decades of experience building and shipping web and mobile products across startups, agencies and the public sector. He has led engineering teams as CTO and Head of Technology, architecting high-traffic systems (notably early Ruby deployments at Reevoo and large-scale reservation systems at Active Hotels) while remaining a hands-on developer across Ruby, JavaScript, Swift and Python. Ben thrives in multidisciplinary, agile environments—coaching teams, recruiting talent and delivering products from iOS apps to WebGL builders and cloud services. He has a track record of innovation, from 3D‑printed toys and BAFTA‑nominated games to government digital prototypes, and enjoys exploring alternative company models as a member of a worker co‑operative. Based in Cambridge, he pairs technical depth with practical business sense and a habit of mentoring the next generation of engineers. An unusual detail: his academic background is in Theology from Cambridge, which he leverages to bring broad, human-centred thinking to technical leadership.
