His focus as CEO is to leverage higi’s unmatched network of smart health stations and connected devices to seamlessly deliver vital health information to organizations working toward understanding and improving the health of their populations.

Bennett officially joined higi in July 2013 as CEO.

Bennett received his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University and has a Masters of Business Administration degree from the Kellogg Business School at Northwestern.
