Ben Wilson

Ben co-founded Study.com with Adrián Ridner in 2002, shaped its signature bite-sized video lesson format, and scaled the curriculum organization behind it. Over the two decades since, he has built some of the largest content and marketing teams in the world and helped launch and scale multiple startups, with a B.S. in business administration from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo behind it all.

He has spent the last decade watching how organizations of thousands of people actually change: how operations get more efficient and less costly with the right software and process, and how a large content and marketing org becomes an AI-first team that ships bigger results, faster. He brings that playbook to Candova, and he thinks about AI at the altitude of the whole company, not a single tool or team.

He writes here about the highest-level questions: how to build an AI-first organization, what leadership and culture have to look like for AI to stick, and how transformation actually happens at scale. He has coached youth sports for over twelve years and advises the Positive Coaching Alliance, and he brings that same character-building, level-people-up mindset to how companies train their teams on AI.
