Benchmark Appoints Josh Hollin as Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer

Key Terms

automation technical

Automation is the use of technology to perform tasks with minimal human intervention, often replacing manual work with machines or software. It matters to investors because it can increase efficiency, reduce costs, and enable faster decision-making, potentially leading to higher profits and competitive advantages for businesses.

ai technical

Artificial intelligence (AI) is technology that enables machines to mimic human thinking and learning, allowing them to analyze information, recognize patterns, and make decisions. For investors, AI matters because it can improve how businesses operate, create new products, or identify opportunities faster and more accurately than humans alone, potentially impacting company success and market trends.

autonomous robotics technical

Autonomous robotics are machines and systems that can perform tasks, make decisions, and adapt to changing conditions without continuous human control — like a self-driving vehicle for manufacturing, delivery, inspection, or service work. Investors care because these robots can lower labor costs, increase speed and consistency, open new markets and revenue streams, and change competitive dynamics, while also carrying adoption, regulation, maintenance and integration risks that affect returns.

six sigma black belt technical

A six sigma black belt is a professional trained to identify and eliminate errors or inefficiencies in processes to improve quality and performance. Think of it like a quality coach who uses data and systematic methods to make workflows smoother and more reliable. For investors, this expertise can lead to more consistent results and better management of risks in organizations.
