Roi Benitez is a digital anthropologist working at the intersection of human behavior, technology, and organizational transformation. For over fifteen years she has led knowledge, learning, and innovation portfolios across the public, multilateral, and technology sectors — building the infrastructure that lets institutions change how they work.
She has managed portfolios of USD 5M+ and led teams of 70+ across Latin America and the United States, designing AI-integrated learning products, enterprise taxonomies, and future-skills platforms for governments and multinational organizations. Earlier, as Director of Capacity Building for Innovation in Argentina's national government, the public-policy academy she created and led reached 65,000 civil servants and was recognized by Apolitical as the second-best government academy in the world.
Her research follows two lines: institutional free zones — how organizations create spaces to break their own rules, the subject of her doctoral thesis in Systemic Innovation — and AI anthropology, which studies how knowledge is produced when people work alongside agentic AI systems. Her theoretical framework draws on science and technology studies and the anthropology of algorithms.
She teaches organizational learning and design anthropology at the postgraduate level at Universidad de San Andrés, is the founder of Skills4Future and co-founder of Hacking Learning. Born in Argentina, she has lived and worked in China, India, Sweden, and the United States.
