BIOGRAPHY
Ben Marcovitz is an executive coach, leadership consultant, founder, and former CEO.
Driven by a passion for helping leaders break through and teams transform, he coaches and consults with both startups and larger organizations seeking growth and change, Ben is drawn to breakthrough technologies, philanthropies, and other mission-driven organizations looking to transform social patterns and the world itself. He has been fortunate to work with OpenAI, Salesforce, Anthropic, Curriculum Associates, Heartbeat Health, The Laura and John Arnold Foundation, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Showtime (now Paramount+), The Walton Family Foundation, and many founding ventures in the AI safety sector, health-technology, entertainment, and education reform.
Over fifteen years ago, Ben founded and led Collegiate Academies, a network of innovative public high schools and tertiary programs in New Orleans and Baton Rouge. The success of this organization spawned spinoff organizations that consistently garnered best-in-class accolades and led him into coaching and consulting within the field. As he branched out into new sectors over the past decade, he leans on the inspirational power of teachers to transform students.
