About

Talent work as a deliverable, not a heroic act.

BenchBuilder is the independent practice of Bo Armstrong.

I'm an I-O psychologist (PhD, Old Dominion University) who has spent my career on the science of talent — roughly six years as a people scientist at Google, and talent and people analytics work at Zscaler.

Across those roles I kept running into the same thing: the holistic view of talent — strategy, structure, and the evidence behind who fills each role — usually lives in the head of one overloaded senior person. It depends on their judgment, and it walks out the door when they do.

BenchBuilder exists to make that view a deliverable instead of a heroic act. The same rigor that goes into a validated assessment goes into the org design, the workforce plan, and the frameworks — so the decisions hold up, and the company owns them.
