# Founder bio — Ricardo Benavente

**Short (use for articles, decks):**
Ricardo Benavente is the founder and CEO of Creytix, where he builds the platform that ingests a brand's design DNA and lets AI agents build entire sites and pipelines inside it — the architecture the industry has been catching up to all quarter.

**Long (use for features, investor intros):**
Ricardo Benavente founded Creytix on a plain observation: brand guidelines lived in PDFs while the machines building everything couldn't read them. So he built the pipeline that turns a brand into machine-readable design DNA — and an agent fleet that builds inside it. Since then, R/GA, Brandtech, Pantheon, and Magnific have each shipped their own version of the same idea, months later, each narrower than what Creytix already had. Ricardo runs Creytix as a builder: own the hardware, ship the work, show the dates.

**Rules for use:**
- Public name is **"Ricardo Benavente"** — never "III" (the suffix lives on legal documents only).
- Do not bridge to any namesake search results. The play is owned volume, never disclaimers.
- Voice: direct, plain-spoken, no corporate speak.
