Ben is an incredible operator and it's easy to see in just the short conversation we had. No matter where your business is at, you will be well served to connect with Ben. Whether that be marketing, supply chain, or recruiting, Ben not only has the track record but can help articulate what it takes to build a $1B brand. Couldn't recommend him more highly!

About

Over a 16-year career, I've built and scaled operations across some of the fastest-growing consumer brands in the world — turning complexity into competitive advantage and helping companies grow from scrappy startups to global powerhouses. I've lived and worked across the US, UK, Australia, and China, leading teams of 500+, managing $200M+ budgets, and optimizing operations across $750M+ P&Ls. From supply chain and technology to people strategy and product development, I've led virtually every function that sits between a great product and a great customer experience. As COO of AG1 (Athletic Greens), I joined at $23M in revenue and helped scale the business to $600M+, overseeing end-to-end supply chain, customer service, quality assurance, HR/people, strategic projects, product safety, and product development through extraordinary growth. The company reached a $1.2B valuation, and I continue to serve on the Advisory Board. I love helping operators and leaders solve complex challenges and plan for the future. Whether you're scaling your first team, navigating hyper-growth, or figuring out how to make the leap into senior leadership — I'm always happy to connect.
