About Christopher Benson

Christopher Benson is CTO at Istari. Location: Arlington, Virginia, United States.

I am focused on helping people and organizations ‘get better at getting better’. I do this by creating systems that develop technologies better, faster, and cheaper. The best way I know how to do this is by making the physical world better by enabling the design, development, testing, and certification of complex systems (e.g. airplanes) to happen *first* in the digital world.
