Ram Sudireddy is the founder, chairman, president and CEO of Bento, a Boston-based dental benefits platform he started in 2017 after concluding that dental insurance, as sold, was structurally broken. Before Bento he built and sold three technology companies - Cimaron Communications to AMCC, CHiL Semiconductor to International Rectifier, and Mustbin to LifeSite - and chaired Sanovi through its acquisition by IBM. He is a semiconductor architect by training who now runs a dental payments company, which is the kind of career pivot that only makes sense if you spend a long weekend reading your family's EOBs.
