Heller, a visionary leader in finance, real estate and technology, currently serves as President of OJO Labs, a technology company that is delivering personalized and tailored home search and selling experiences for consumers.
“Throughout his career, Chris Heller has developed a reputation as a leader and innovator,” said Michael Zacharski, CEO of BEN. “As we contemplate entry into the financial services vertical, we see Chris’ expertise and extensive industry knowledge across finance, real estate, and technology and his broad network of connections as invaluable to successfully navigate our ongoing development of cutting-edge multi-modal AI Assistants and applications.”
In his advisory role, Heller will provide expertise on the broader financial services and real estate industries, as well as how AI Assistants can be applied to empower both consumers and service providers.
