Hosts
Ben Simpson
CO-FOUNDER & CEO, EASOL
Ben has spent over 15 years running experience businesses - first off as Managing Director of UK's largest millennial events and marketing agency, Rough Hill, scaling its internal tech platform to 1000+ staff with 2000 events and 2m customers annually and sold to Chime PLC. In 2014, he co-created Rise, Europe's second largest snow sports and music festival with 5000+ attendees, as well as Beyond Adventures, a series of adventure parties in remote locations like the Sahara desert and the Swedish Archipelago. Frustrated by the lack of tools to run and grow his experience businesses, he set out to build Easol to enable a new generation of entrepreneurs to create moments they wish to see in the world.
