About Ben
A dude who loves travel.
How it all started…
I have been an an ambitious and resourceful professional who is passionate about leveraging my business expertise to solve complex problems. After graduating from Troy University with a degree in Business Administration, I began my career as an intern at an entertainment firm in Atlanta, Georgia. While there, I quickly proved myself to be knowledgeable and capable of success as a full-time employee.
In 2009, I moved to Lagos State, Nigeria, and joined the team at Connoisseur Xchange. This newly formed company had the sole distribution rights to the Christian Audigier beverages in Nigeria. As their newest addition to the strategy and marketing department, I played an integral role in helping the organization grow by developing campaigns that increased customer engagement across their various products and services. During my five years at Connoisseur Xchange, I was promoted to Managing Director, a position that led the company’s entire marketing and operations initiatives.
My next role was with a travel and holiday firm in Lagos. The firm catered to corporate clients, providing various travel services from flight bookings to customized vacation packages. As their Chief Strategy Officer, I was responsible for establishing and managing the company’s strategic roadmap, overseeing marketing activities, and launching new products to meet customer demands.
After a successful stint in the corporate world, I decided to pursue my passion and opened my consultancy firm in Lagos. Through this, I provide strategic and operational consulting services to various clients across the country. With a speciality in helping small businesses grow and scale, I also volunteer with local nonprofits focused on improving the lives of underprivileged children in my community.
