Hi there! My name is Ben and I love to build whether it is a company or a product. A little bit about me: I founded my first company in high school called Aspect, selling organic athletic apparel throughout California. I then went on to join Del Monte as the one of the youngest financial analysts at the age of 19 in San Francisco. Soon after I founded my second company, Soul id, with 20 employees focused on developing social media solutions for athletes, and was ranked as one of the fastest growing brands in the sports industry by NBC. I was selected as a member of the Thiel Summit as one of the top entrepreneurs under the age 20 in the world. With Soul id I went on to win the North State Future Four Business Competition and was a recipient of the Rawlins award, CSU Chico Entrepreneurship Leader award, and was awarded the Entrepreneur of the Year by Innovate North State.

Sampsonite designs was created after Soul id, providing creative solutions to companies and entrepreneurs. The creative firm offered solutions ranging from app development to photography. Today the firm still tackles the special one-off project.

In 2016, I joined Outsell Inc. as a Product Manager and then served on the executive team as the VP of Product and the Head of Outsell for Startups. My job; to build products that make CEOs better, faster, stronger, and to identify and cover the most disruptive startups in the world at the intersection of data and technology.

I then founded WeHero where today we support the best companies in the world with Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives with a mission to give 10,000,000 people the tools to give and volunteer easily and impactfuly.

When I’m not in office, I’m advising startups, designing and building for fun, and on the bike, skis, or surf board. Let’s build something!
