Ben King
Founder & CEO at Aviato Consulting
My mission at Aviato is to bring the best of Google Cloud technology to your toughest business problems.
I founded Aviato Consulting to do things differently, we want to deliver as much value as we can to our customers, and help them transform not only their business but their industry. We have helped a global real estate compony gain insights from data using the power of Google Cloud BigQuery, built engaging apps for a global insurance company running on Google Cloud Run and built AI tooling to reduce manual tasks by ~22%.
We're different because we prioritize solutions, not billable hours.
