His work has been featured by The Economist, BBC, The Financial Times, The Telegraph, Thomson Reuters, CGTN, Deloitte University Press, Forbes, HR Director, People Management, Thomson Reuters, Hays Journal, People Matters, HR Grapevine, HRM Asia, Inside HR, LinkedIn, and many more publications worldwide.

Truly global in his approach, Ben’s career has seen him work and live across cultures and challenging contexts. Uniquely, he spent 3 years in China developing his approach and vision for EX at the first and leading foreign-Sino University. In this Director role, the first of its kind, the University experienced double-digit improvements across its major engagement metrics and his wider EX research on multinational organisations was also highlighted as a case study in China Business Review and has been published and presented through major academic conferences and journals.
