Benedict has spent 20 years analysing mobile, media and technology, and worked in equity research, strategy, consulting and venture capital. He is now an independent analyst. Mostly, that means trying to work out what questions to ask such as What matters in tech? What’s going on, what might it mean, and what will happen next?

Benedict writes essays about technology trends, and a weekly newsletter with 175,000 subscribers, and gives presentations pulling together these ideas.
