“The idiom "iron sharpens iron" describes the incredible experience and value I gained from working with Ben for 3 years. While he was CEO, he challenged me to do some of the best work of my life. Ben is clearly a lifelong learner as he strives to understand business strategy from diverse perspectives. He believes that asking the right questions is more important than simply having all the answers. For that reason, he is able to achieve success at any goal set before him.”
