Benjamin Carcich started his career as a military officer before shifting into game dev at Riot Games working on League of Legends. He spent over 8 years there, starting in associate production roles and eventually advancing to director roles.

He’s a certified co-active coach and official ICAgile trainer and has been teaching concepts around Agility, Production, and Game Development Leadership since 2015.
