About Benjamin

I combine creativity, collaboration, design thinking, insight-led decision making, behavioural science and a people-centred philosophy to build great organisations and experiences. I skilfully provide strategic leadership and thought, while supporting others to be leaders in their own areas, and believe a holistic understanding of people and engagement drives success, failure and learning.

My broad skill set and perspective comes from 15 years of diverse experience across private, local government and charity sectors in managing and delivering communication and engagement, implementing communication and collaboration technologies, strategic planning, digital development, performance and operations. I have a recognised aptitude for problem solving, huge passion for and superior competence with technology, and enjoy facilitating projects and creating high quality content across many mediums.

Working openly and transparently, and proactive attitudes to diversity, inclusion, representation, modern work practices, wellbeing and mental health are of great importance to me.
