Ben Goldman

Hi 👋, I'm Ben Goldman

I’m a product builder and entrepreneur in NYC, with roots in Detroit. I’ve founded a software company, shipped macOS tools loved by thousands, and led ambitious product work at companies like JPMorgan. I care deeply about building tools that make people faster, workflows cleaner, and ideas easier to execute.

EXPERIENCES

As a Vice President of Product, I lead product strategy for the Digital Innovation team—building new client-facing platforms, workflows, and internal tools that help a 250,000+ person organization move faster. My work spans AI-assisted publishing systems, enterprise collaboration tools, and cross-functional initiatives that sit at the intersection of finance, technology, and user experience.

As Head of Product at Simplero, I led platform and payments strategy—scaling infrastructure that powered $400M+ in annual volume. I rebuilt the product organization, launched a top-ranked mobile app, and drove new monetization strategies that reignited growth after years of stagnation.

I founded BZG, a software studio behind macOS apps like Unite and Coherence—tools used by tens of thousands to customize their digital workflows. Built from scratch, BZG has been featured in Apple events and continues to ship thoughtfully crafted indie software at scale.

I was the founding product manager for an AI-driven financial planning platform. I led early market discovery, shaped the MVP, and secured pilot commitments from companies like DoorDash and Neuralink.

PROJECTS

When I'm not deep in the world of product management, I love to tinker and create apps that make our daily digital lives a bit more awesome. Check out some of the cool stuff I've been working on:

Unite

Ever wished you could turn your favorite website into a Mac app? That's exactly what Unite does. Launched in December 2017, it's my way of making the web feel more at home on your desktop.

Coherence

Back in August 2013, I had this 'aha' moment and created Coherence. It's more than just a tool; it's a disruptor in the Site-Specific Browser (SSB) industry. Coherence lets you transform any website into a Chrome-based app, giving web apps their very own spotlight on your desktop.

Podapp

Podcast lover? Me too! That's why I'm building Podapp – a podcast player that's all about a better listening experience.

Aerate

I created Aerate for anyone who's ever struggled with bulky image files. Launched in February 2018, it's a nifty tool that compresses images without losing the beauty. It's like magic, but for your photos.

Browse X

A bold project to reimagine the browser as an operating system for the web. It didn’t ship (yet), but it shaped how I think about interfaces, architecture, and ambition.

(and many more!)
