Logically, the AI company that combines technology and expert intelligence welcomes two new hires to its senior leadership team. These strategic hires will be pivotal in driving Logically’s next growth phase, enhancing its technological capabilities, and delivering information advantage to its partners at speed and scale.
Logically has cultivated deep domain expertise in the dynamics of online narratives, misleading content and deceptive behavior, and embeds these unique insights into its advanced AI solutions. The hiring of Paul and Eric strengthens the company’s commitment to investing in and developing technology that scales and provides organizations, institutions, and individuals the intelligence required to navigate the complexities of the ever-evolving modern digital landscape.
Paul Bentham, an experienced technology leader with over 20 years of experience in technology-driven organizations, will spearhead the development of Logically’s technology and product solutions for its three core markets: Government, Enterprise and Trust and Safety. Previously serving as Chief Product Officer at Immersive Labs, Paul oversaw the launch of multiple products and was instrumental in supporting the company’s growth and fundraising efforts. By harnessing Logically’s cutting-edge research and its existing technology portfolio, made up of multilingual, multimodal, cross-platform solutions, Paul and his team are serving partners at the forefront of responding to harmful online discourse.
Eric Bonnel de Longchamp also joins Logically as Chief Financial Officer, heading up Logically’s finance team. Eric has over 20 years of international experience in fundraising, corporate strategy, and tech business model repositioning. He has held key financial roles at Walt Disney, Marriott, Softbank, Vivendi, Orange, and RSM. Eric’s extensive experience scaling high-growth technology companies will be crucial as Logically approaches Series B and future IPO ambitions. Eric and his team will help support Logically’s R&D capabilities with continued investment, ensuring the business scales its technology to meet the needs of its growing customer base.
“Joining the highly mission-focused and passionate team at Logically is an honor”, said Bentham. “The team has demonstrated that by building AI, fueled by expert intelligence, we can address the short and long-term challenges that misleading, deceptive, and harmful content has on our society. Organizations everywhere are facing increasingly sophisticated adversaries and threats, which makes access to AI-powered technology vital for upholding the integrity of online information environments. My focus will be on strengthening our technology portfolio to deliver the trusted intelligence our customers need.”
Lyric Jain, founder and CEO of Logically, also commented on the hires: “I’m delighted to welcome Paul and Eric to the Logically leadership team. We are doubling down on our core strengths by investing in the technology and talent that empower our partners to make evidence-based decisions in response to harmful online discourse through timely and rigorous intelligence.
