About
Ben is a serial entrepreneur and seasoned operator with a rare mix of technical expertise, strategic vision, and firsthand exit experience. Over the past two decades, he’s built and sold three companies across artificial intelligence, mobile marketing, and digital healthcare — each achieving a significant multiple on exit. Having navigated the process successfully three times, Ben brings unmatched insight into what truly drives value in a business.
A former software engineer at Microsoft and Google, Ben understands both the technical and emotional sides of growing a company. As a founder, he’s guided ventures from early traction through acquisition and now helps other entrepreneurs do the same — translating complex exit mechanics into clear, actionable strategy.
Today, Ben works with founders preparing for an exit or positioning their company for maximum value. His deep operational background, industry connections, and experience navigating high-stakes acquisitions make him a trusted partner for entrepreneurs ready to take the next step.
“I love helping other founders through their exits because I’ve been in their shoes and know how transformative this process can be. Guiding them allows me to share the insights I’ve gained and help them achieve successful outcomes that honor their hard work and vision.”
