Why Choose Me
It's Right For You
Diverse background, if you have a question I have probably done it and have a suggestion from my experience.
Peace of Mind
I love building new things and starting from scratch but its a lot safer to use an established method that has worked before.
Focused Action
Big thinkers and visionaries are powerful but can leave potential on the table without a clear plan of action.
Are you ready?
Jump in and take action, we learn by touching reality and learning from trial and error. Ask for forgiveness and get your hands dirty!

Hear it from others:
I worked with Ben for 5 years and would recommend him very highly. He was a major contributor to our success at Bridgelux where we grew from a start up to an established player in the SSL market. Working in a small growing company, Ben became well versed in every aspect of the company and demonstrated high competence spanning customer communication to product development/management. He is great in front of customers, and was a key member our our team. He would be an asset to any organisation.
