Top SchoolBen Payne is a founder and CEO with 11+ years of formal experience and a career rooted in embedded software, hardware integration, and scalable system design. He grew a software consultancy from 10 to 85 people over nearly 15 years, led product and architecture efforts that delivered the RVU remote UI deployed on over 30 million set-top devices, and has repeatedly blended business development with hands-on engineering.
