Ben was generous with his experience and knowledge, always willing to assist to work through a topic to find a business opportunity or resolution to the situation. It was through this insight we were able to develop many strategic initiatives which help grow my business and the business as a whole. On a personal note, Ben's mentorship has helped guide me in many business and career opportunities which I had encountered over the 9 years we work alongside one another at HP.
