Benoit started his career working for the International Radio Astronomy Centre in France, building software with scientists who were studying Saturn. He then joined Thales Armament, working on on-board software for missile guidance systems. After 15 years of conceptualizing and building enterprise solutions, Benoit retrained in AI (studying under Professor Andrew Ng) and successfully achieved AI certifications from Stanford University and Coursera. As Volume moved toward AI-powered conversational platforms, Benoit conceptualized two key products: Volume’s advanced AI-powered conversational platform and QBox. The latter was the first of its kind and is a patent-pending technologies tool, recognized by Gartner as a chatbot corpus-management and training tool.

Kit Ruparel
CTO of RecordSure
Kit is a board experienced CTO and CIO with a skill-set across software development, IT systems and company operations. The majority of his career has been spent growing start-ups or turning around SMEs that may otherwise have been regarded as ‘end-of-life’. Having mostly worked for private-equity or VC backed organisations, Kit’s skills have been regularly used by investors to evaluate companies they may have an interest in, perform due-diligence activities, or assist with growth or turnaround strategies. With an exceptional ability to rapidly understand a new product or service, the business model around it and whether the technology and operations are helping or hindering the company vision, Kit is as comfortable operating within experienced boards as he is probing lines of source-code with the developers and engineers. Extremely innovative, Kit rapidly finds solutions to any technical or operational challenge; and as well as having patents to his own name is also excellent at identifying the unique product features or methods in others’ intellectual property and then making the most of them from a business perspective. Kit’s network and access to skills is very broad, having worked with experts across virtually every technological discipline, using development and BPO organisations across most continents, peering with ‘deep’ contacts (i.e. true technology owners, not evangelists) inside organisations like Microsoft, and negotiating products, services and partnerships from the largest name-brand companies down to the smallest specialist suppliers. Kit is a Chartered IT Professional and has voluntarily assisted the British Computer Society, the National Computer Centre, the DTI, the Learning and Skills Council and the government e-Skills programme on a range of topics from Professionalism in IT initiatives to defining skills frameworks for CIOs through to IT end-users.
