Description

In this episode of The Digital Executive, host Brian Thomas sits down with Dan Benveniste, founder and CEO of SkillWaze and serial entrepreneur with over $150M in successful exits. Dan shares how his latest ventures—SkillWaze and AlumniBridge—are reshaping how we prepare the next generation for the workforce.

From his early startup success to pioneering AI-powered “learn and earn” platforms, Dan reveals how he’s tackling the global skills gap by helping employers identify, train, and verify real-world talent—not just degrees. He discusses why traditional education is due for disruption, how SkillWaze guarantees career readiness through verified skills data, and why he believes in “succeeding slowly” over the old “fail fast” mantra.

Whether you’re a founder, HR leader, or educator, this episode offers a powerful look into how AI and human-centered design are converging to redefine the future of hiring and education.
