Ben is the co-founder of Teacher’s Buddy, an AI-powered platform built to take the admin load off teachers’ shoulders—so they can spend less time on paperwork and more time actually teaching. Alongside co-founder Matt Abraham, Ben launched Teacher’s Buddy to help educators plan lessons, differentiate content, write assessments, and mark student work in a fraction of the time it usually takes. It’s already saving teachers hours each week and changing how classrooms run, one task at a time.

Before Teacher’s Buddy, Ben co-founded Edrolo, which now supports over 1,200 high schools across Australia with curriculum-aligned digital and print resources. Edrolo is backed by some of the country’s top VCs, including Blackbird, AirTree and OneVentures, and has grown to a 70+ person team with global ambitions.

Outside of startups, Ben’s a board member at Toorak College and a committee member at WEHI. He’s also been an investment manager at Goldman Sachs, an auditor at KPMG, a rural volunteer in Thailand, and a private tutor. He’s a CFA Charterholder, holds a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Melbourne, and was School Captain at Haileybury.
