Benjamin Moskowitz is Vice President, Innovation Lab. He leads a team that develops new technologies to strengthen consumer power and CR’s sustainability as a social enterprise.
CR’s Innovation Lab collaborates with hackers, builders and entrepreneurs on disruptive technologies that advance the public interest. It seeds the earliest, most experimental stage of CR’s innovation pipeline, working alongside CR’s New Products and Services division to deliver new value to consumers.
Previously, Ben led CR’s Digital Lab — an initiative to expand CR’s work on digital marketplace issues including data rights, cybersecurity, and tech competition. As founding Director, he oversaw the development of new capabilities in lab testing, digital organizing and product R&D.
Prior to joining CR, Ben served as Director of Development for Innovation at the International Rescue Committee. In this role, he secured more than $29 million as a co-founder of the Airbel Center—a research and development unit that designs, tests, and scales life-changing solutions for refugees and people affected by conflict. He was also the lead architect of IRC and Sesame Workshop’s successful $100 million proposal to deliver early childhood learning to children affected by the war in Syria.
Before that, he served as Senior Director, Development Strategy at Mozilla Foundation, where he built research programs and open source software with public and private partners.
Ben teaches at the Interactive Telecommunications Program at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and was previously Visiting Associate Arts Professor at NYU Shanghai. He lives in New York with his partner and an eccentric cat, and is a proud geek who enjoys collecting vintage electronics and dusty sci-fi paperbacks.
