Derek Rowley
Ben is great! He is a very talented Manager and negotiator that makes very smart & data driven decisions. Having worked with Ben over the the last year has been insightful and inspiring. He brings a lot of experience that has made him an excellent leader, coach, and mentor that not only cares about the bottom line, but also cared for my professional growth. I was impressed with Ben’s organizational skills to successfully negotiate through a very difficult and complicated Global Ocean Bid. Ben is a great leader that any organization would be lucky to have. I give him my full recommendation.
