ABOUT THE GUEST Ben Forgan is the co-founder and CEO of Hologram, a global connectivity platform for IoT headquartered in Chicago.

Forgan leads the team’s strategy and business development with nearly 10 years in the evolving industry.

Prior to Hologram, Forgan was co-founder and managing director of Foodpanda in Singapore, which was then acquired by Delivery Hero. At Foodpanda, Forgan noticed there were no options or resources to easily manage SIM cards to power point-of-sale cellular connectivity. That’s in part how he was inspired to launch Hologram.
