Hey there 👋 I’m Ben!

I’m currently at Carrara - helping startups, VCs and TechCos with special projects around Finance, BizOps and M&A.

Prior to that I was a consultant at Bain - where I focused on Private Equity, Performance Improvement and Analytics. I’ve also found myself in various roles across the spectrum of ‘the business of tech’ - including in VC/startups, software, tech consulting, IT strategy and public policy. I’ve also been fortunate to live and work in several global tech hubs, including San Francisco (current), Sydney, and Dublin.

These days, I learn most from the people I work with, running experiments, listening to podcasts, and reading blogs/newsletters in random corners of the internet. Formally, I graduated from UNSW Sydney with a BCom (Co-op) (Hons) in Information Systems & Finance.

When I’m not at work, I like to be outside (in the ocean, on a trail), reading, playing with new tech, and investing time into relationships that matter to me!

I’ve started this site to share what I’m learning as an Aussie ex-consultant working in San Francisco and startups – If you’d like to follow along, drop your email below:
