Bio
Schuyler Marsh
I know Ben from working together on a tactical, multidisciplinary, production capacity improvement project. We each had lead responsibilities for our contributing teams. Ben also had responsibility for collecting data for defining the scope of the project and scheduling information sharing activities at the production plant. These are critical, initiating roles that enable project success. Our shared responsibilities included managing our teams' resources and adjusting priorities to deliver against an aggressive schedule. Ben took complete ownership of his responsibilities and demonstrated effective leadership of his team. I was also impressed with his attention to detail and commitment to closure in documenting the production improvements we implemented over the course of the project. This ensured sustained process improvement in the event that Ben were to progress into different roles. I would recommend Ben for a technical position that would benefit from his effective project management, scheduling and team management skills.
Greg Spahr
Ben and I collaborated on many in house facility and process improvement projects. Ben was instrumental in the basis of design as well as facilitating the construction and implementation of these improvements.
