Ben Johnson is the Founder and CEO of Spruce, which develops a platform that enables individuals to receive services in their homes through a mobile app. From full housekeeping to a quick tidy-up or a dog walk for your furry friend, Spruce is available to residents on-demand. At the end of 2020, Spruce raised an $8M Series A, led by Mercury Fund.

Ben spent a little over 5.5 years at ING working on digital banking before starting Spruce. He attended the University of Texas at Austin and got his MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
