No matter how tense a meeting is, Benjamin Holdham makes sure everyone leaves with a smile. He is one of a kind and has a positive, authentic way of doing things. He goes beyond his scope, responsibility, and accountabilities. He stepped in, mentored/ coached, and supported when others (team or departments) struggled. "Genuine leader" is the phrase that comes to mind when we think about him.I strongly recommend him for any product leadership role!

I had a great opportunity to work with Ben for quite some time. Ben is a great source of inspiration and motivation for all people around him. He's extremely helpful and proactive. That combined with very precise analytical thinking and very strong values makes him a great driving force in any team. Worth mentioning, that Ben joined our team in the middle of very hard and challenging project, which we together managed to successfully accomplish. Afterwards Ben was extremely productive in handling various topics required for any major company product: stakeholder management, requirements gathering, product roadmap planning. I recommend Ben as a great thinker and doer. He is an excellent addition to any team.
