With more than 25 years of corporate leadership experience spanning Fortune 50 and Fortune 1000 organizations, Ben is adept at translating complex sustainability priorities across industries and helping companies advance engagement and buy-in across internal departments.

Over the last decade, Ben has worked to navigate sustainability risk management and reporting challenges – including comprehensive governance and oversight, ESG material issues identification and assessment, climate risk analysis, as well as ever-evolving global voluntary and regulatory disclosure pressures. Ben regularly advocates that the ESG reporting process is more than a compliance exercise, with the power to drive cross-departmental accountability, goal setting and progress.

Most recently, Ben served as Global Head of ESG & Sustainability for a notable multi-national company – establishing their first dedicated, enterprise-wide sustainability department and advancing ESG governance, transparency and multiple environmental and social goals.

Ben holds an MBA from the University of Kansas. Outside the office, he likes to travel extensively with family and friends. Ben also spends hours refining his green thumb around the landscape – an homage to his central-Kansas childhood.
