Benny's story started at age six, when an Amiga rewired his brain. Music, code, and games, three obsessions that never left. From Småland, where entrepreneurial spirit runs deep, he founded Data Dao, helping organizations turn data into decisions and impact. These days he's equally at home in a boardroom or in front of a classroom of curious ten-year-olds, and that's exactly where he wants to be.

Je facilite l’adoption de cadres de travail adaptés aux enjeux métiers, en cultivant une culture de collaboration, de transparence et d’amélioration continue. Mon approche du coaching produit vise à renforcer la vision, prioriser intelligemment et maximiser l’impact des livrables, tout en fédérant les parties prenantes autour d’objectifs communs.
Convaincu que la performance passe par l’humain, je mets en place des méthodologies de travail favorisant l’intelligence collective, l’autonomie et la responsabilisation des équipes. J’interviens aussi bien sur la structuration des pratiques que sur le développement des postures, avec un souci constant d’efficacité et de sens.
En parallèle, j’exploite le pouvoir du visuel à travers le scribing (facilitation graphique) pour clarifier les idées, dynamiser les échanges et ancrer les messages clés. Le dessin devient alors un véritable levier d’engagement, de compréhension et de mémorisation, au service de la transformation.

Daniela Rosas es estudiante de Gestión y Alta Dirección con mención en Gestión Social y Pública en la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP) y Presidenta de 180 Degrees Consulting PUCP, donde lidera proyectos de consultoría estratégica para organizaciones sociales y emprendimientos de impacto. Ayacuchana de origen, su trabajo está profundamente conectado con la generación de soluciones que respondan a realidades diversas y descentralizadas.

As a fan of Evan Roderick, I’ve found his journey to be both motivating and meaningful. Watching someone go from the intensity of competitive sports to becoming an accomplished actor/songwriter speaks volumes about his focus and willingness to grow.

I first saw Evan on Arrow as Detective Nick Anastas, where his presence felt steady and natural. There was something about the way he carried himself, calm yet purposeful, that drew me in. Later, I learned about his background in hockey, which only added to my respect for him. He played at the Division I level for UMass Lowell before a significant injury changed his plans. That turning point led him to pursue acting, and from what I’ve seen, he gave it the same level of commitment as he did to his time on the ice.

Growing up in Vancouver, Evan Roderick Anderson was always on the move, changing schools to follow his hockey goals. Along the way, he took on summer jobs in commercials, which turned out to be his first step into the world of performance. After his injury, he came back to Vancouver, trained in acting, and started from the ground up. It’s clear that nothing about his career has been handed to him; he’s earned every step.

His performance in Spinning Out, as Justin Davis, was where many fans, including myself, really connected with his work. He portrayed the emotional tension of the role with sincerity, and it was hard not to relate to the character’s struggles and growth.

Now, with If I Run, Evan steps into the role of Dylan Roberts, a character shaped by inner conflict. It’s exciting to watch him take on more challenging material, especially after receiving a Leo Award nomination in 2023 for Sealed with a List.

And with songs like “Early Years,” he shows another side of his creativity, thoughtful, personal, and honest.

Evan Roderick continues to impress with his dedication to both acting and songwriting, and being a fan of his work makes following his journey truly worthwhile.
