Ben doesn't just walk in and facilitate.
He sweats the details to build conviction.
Executive Facilitator · Coach · Activation Designer · Dubai & London · Available globally
Two decades in the rooms where strategies are built, and the years since helping them make traction.
Ben has spent more than two decades inside two of the world's leading strategy and consulting firms - PwC and Oliver Wyman - watching how organisations think, decide, and often struggle to move.
For the last 12 years, he has channelled that experience into designing and facilitating high-stakes engagements for senior leaders across the globe. As a front-of-room facilitator, Ben brings something most hosts don't: he understands the content, reads the room, and adapts in real time - because he has spent his career doing exactly that.
As one of a small number of certified MG Taylor Masters globally, Ben brings a collaboration methodology proven across governments, financial institutions, and major transformation programs. As a Chartered Accountant, he is able to translate what is being discussed in the room into financial reality.
A career built at the intersection of strategy and human behaviour.

Command of the Room
Ben opens, closes, and holds rooms with confidence - experienced in front of CEOs, government ministers, royalty, global partner groups, and large employee audiences.
Business-Relevant Presence
With over 20 years in client-facing professional services, Ben speaks the language of the room. He draws on hundreds of real stories to bridge sessions with genuine insight - not scripted links. He is a Chartered Accountant and able to draw the lines that connect financial and human realities.
Plays Well With Others
As an independent, Ben works seamlessly alongside other providers and advisors. No hidden on-sell agenda. His focus is on making every angle of your event shine.
Adapts in Real Time
Ben tracks the energy, mood, and emerging dynamics of the room throughout the day - and adjusts pacing, tone, and structure when the context calls for it. Often events solve previously undiagnosed problems at the same time, and Ben pragmatically shifts the focus to what matters most.
What clients say about working with Ben.
Ben is like a Sherpa. He will go out ahead and plan four ways for us to go up the mountain knowing we will only ever take one. And when we do choose which way we need to go, he's ready with the right tools and guardrails so we can do it safely ourselves.
