Ben

Ben is a leadership communication consultant and coach who brings military precision to helping leaders make clear, confident decisions under pressure. “Military leaders have a secret weapon for making good decisions under pressure,” he says. “The briefing process allows them to cut through the noise and focus their talent and experience on what truly matters.” Ben spent 13 years in the armed forces, advising Admirals and Generals around the world. He served as Spokesperson for EU Forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina and led high-profile diplomatic projects across the Middle East and Latin America, developing deep expertise in briefing, clarity, and leadership in high-stakes environments. He now applies military briefing techniques to the commercial sector through consultancy and coaching, with clients across insurance, banking, construction, and legal services crediting him with transforming how they communicate. Ben is also a speechwriter for a diverse range of CEOs and a two-time Cicero World Speechwriting Awards winner, receiving the 2024 prize for his work with Google on communicating the benefits of AI and the 2025 award in the Controversial and Highly Politicised category.
