Ben Pascut holds a Cambridge PhD and has spent his career refusing to choose between thinking and doing—integrating scholarship, business strategy, and social impact into a single practice. He has directed a leadership center at Yale, presented at Oxford, Harvard, Brown, and Princeton, and been recognized by the U.S. government as a Person of National Interest and Extraordinary Ability. Ben's work sits at the intersection of leadership and technology. He believes AI is not a threat to human relevance—it's an invitation to a new Renaissance. Whether coaching executives, advising on legacy and succession, or speaking to audiences from boardrooms to TEDx, his commitment is the same: to meet people where they are—and walk with them toward flourishing. He holds certifications in executive coaching and private equity from Brown University and Wharton, and is currently pioneering AI-driven platforms that mobilize leadership development and human flourishing at scale.
