“I had the pleasure of working with Ben for 4 years of my career at Red Bull, first as an analyst, then manager. He was always certain to ensure a "working with," rather than "working for" environment, enabling individuals to develop their strengths, establishing confidence within the team, and ultimately with the customer. Ben abundant knowledge of technology, and his drive to stay ahead of the "curve" was both challenging and energizing! He has a true willingness to listen, and respect for his team, sharing the spotlight when credit is due. I am happy to recommend him as a strong leader, competent manager, and great peer.”
