Ben Burton
Co-Founder & CEO
From a young age he loved to ‘make inventions’ in the backyard. When he grew up, he studied Commerce & Law at Melbourne Uni – and then found himself working ‘real jobs’ for 17 years.

Ben held leadership positions in both the telecommunications and insurance sectors, where he was responsible for the design and implementation of service solutions that blend the best of human and digital capabilities.

He also has a couple of Real Estate investments; he believes there is a big opportunity in property management to use digital innovation to speed up issue resolution and remove communication bottlenecks.
