Ben Hughes is an expert in all things Learning and Development. Having worked with some of the biggest brands on the planet including Sky and Audi, he has spent 16 years growing his skillset and making positive changes. A lover of all things learning, Ben is passionate about creating realistic, practical and people-focussed L&D solutions that are easy to digest, to the point and down to the earth. Ben believes Learning & Development have the power to skyrocket any business by putting its people and their development at the core and the games industry is no exception. Ben’s work at Sumo Group so far has seen him optimise the way teams learn, opportunities for development and clarity in the review process. As a master of storytelling, Ben never tires of telling people about the time he got parenting advice from Chris Hemsworth (no, really) and always has a tale to tell about his two children – Flo and Miles. Ben is a firm believer that Metal Gear Solid is the best game of all time and is on a mission to learn how to play guitar.
