INSP Leadership Team
Benjamin Allen
President/CEO
INSP Leadership is headed up by Ben Allen, who has more than two decades of experience in the fire protection and service industry. An inventor, product designer, and certification expert, his expertise spans the areas of manufacturing, operations, production, quality control, and beyond.
He holds multiple industry licenses and certifications, including Fire Extinguisher Service, Testing, and Selling (CA and NC); Fire Systems Certification; National Association of Fire Equipment Distributors (NAFED) Hazmat Certification; California Board of Health License; among others.
His passion for innovation and invention is motivated by a deep desire to help people by creating products that are not only effective, but that also eliminate the long-term health hazards that are inherent in many of the leading fire protection products used today.
Ben was instrumental in the creation of the GreenFire® Technology and ideas for Non Toxic Firefighting products. Ben designed and manufactured the delivery systems for Silver Rhino™ and created the Fire Watch App™ to monitor and control these systems.
His interest in non-toxic replacement technologies led him to seek out the right strategic partnership for SCWO Technology developing programs for the destruction and disposal of PFAS, hydrocarbons and other fluorinated compounds.
