Bio
Clare Sammon
I worked with Benny in Horizon Pharma at a time where we were tasked with implementing a lot of change in a very tight timeline. As I was new to the company I would not have succeeded in implementing this change without his support. His technical experience and skillset, his willingness to share and his overall great attitude to teamwork was key to the teams success. He has a great work ethic and you can be 100% sure he will do everything possible to get the best business result. I strongly recommend Benny as both a technical expert in all areas of Supply Chain but also as a leader. A leader who demonstrates values, people development and team spirit. Benny was fun to work with and I hope I get the opportunity to work alongside him again.

I know Benny since his early years at Roche and had the pleasure to have in on my teams in Switzerland, US and Singapore. He has a good overall knowledge of Supply Chain complexity and an even deeper experience in Logistics and Distribution. Benny always demonstrated a great sense of urgency and proved to be highly flexibility and adaptable to changes. I enjoyed working with him and always appreciated his loyalty and commitment to get the job done.
