About Me 👋
Greetings, I'm Ben Pappas, a trailblazer in data strategy, blockchain, and artificial intelligence. As the VP of Data Strategy at Valuetainment, I'm not just playing the game—I'm changing it. I transform data into dynamic business solutions that rewrite the rules.
Professional Highlights 🏆
My career is a series of masterstrokes in entrepreneurship and strategic innovation. At Beti Technologies, I didn't just create an AI-integrated sales platform—I revolutionized sales automation, culminating in a blockbuster exit. My roles at BMP Insurance Services, CallCreator, and Orange Labs were more than jobs; they were a series of triumphs in growth and lucrative exits, showcasing my flair for scaling businesses into empires.
Expertise and Impact 🚀
I don't just specialize in building first-party data systems; I redefine them for e-commerce and media giants, merging AI prowess with shrewd business acumen. The $100M deal I sealed at Summit Risk Advisors? That's just a taste of how I navigate the high-stakes world of mergers and acquisitions.
Personal Life and Interests 👨👩👧👦🎨
Beyond the boardroom, I'm a family man, an artist, and a coach. My life's canvas is rich—adorned with a loving family, over $2 million in art sales, and countless moments coaching my kids' teams. These aren't just hobbies; they're the colors that make my life a masterpiece.

Tosan Johnson
I’m the lead analyst at the largest data aggregator in the gaming industry.
I’m in that sweet spot of my career where I’m fully hands on working with data(retrieval, cleaning, modeling, and creating insights) but I’m also brought into the room for strategy on how to build the product with data being at the center of it (or sometimes being the product itself).
I used to work in finance as a consultant/data scientist, so I’m super comfortable talking through all data related topics with anyone at any level. I can help entry level analysts impress their boss with a crazy cool idea, or help a CEO shock their managers by saying machine learning instead of AI.
We can talk details, strategy, heck I’ll even debug with you if you want (triple the price for anyone using R).
If you’re struggling to put together a plan around your data, or you’re just not sure how to extract the value out of it, we should talk.
