Ben Fohner is a Director of Product Management at Lingo. He is passionate about products that improve lives and are delightful to use. Ben built and led teams at Recidiviz, a tech non-profit working to create a smaller, fairer, safer criminal justice system, and at Schmidt Futures. Before that, he spent 11 years launching new products at Google, including Chromebooks, the Pixel brand, and several new apps while leading the “next billion users” team in Sydney, Australia.

From California, Ben spends his free time ocean swimming, adventuring to new parts of the world, and attempting to make the perfect pizza dough – even though it makes his glucose spike. He has a BA in Human Biology from Stanford and a Masters in Business from Monash University in Australia, where he was a Fulbright scholar.
