What Benny does
Benny is the founder of InspiraEd. He's a former oncology pharmacist, operations manager and science teacher who now solves business problems with AI. He works inside organisations to find their costliest and riskiest processes, then builds AI solutions for them.
His clinical-trials background shapes how he works: change one thing at a time and follow the evidence. For SCENZ, he built an AI system that turns teachers' practicals into a searchable library. Its safety check has already held back practicals whose details clashed with their safety notes.
A Master of Technological Futures graduate, Benny has run AI workshops for businesses and for NZIC, NZIP and SCENZ, and spoken at ASEF ClassNet Manila, the PPTA Summit and the NZ Institute of Physics. Through EmpowerEd with the Asia-Europe Foundation he has trained educators from 18 countries. He founded the Re:Gen AI event series, leads AI Collective Hamilton and is part of AI Forum NZ's resource and research project.
What Benny helps with:
- Finding where AI pays off, and where the risk sits, before you spend
- Hands-on AI training for teams, schools and professional bodies
- Clear AI policy and a realistic 6 to 12 month roadmap
- Building automations that take repetitive admin off people's plates
Working with RIVER
