Because of his success as an entrepreneur and nonprofit leader, Ben is a nationally sought-after leadership consultant and executive coach in the education, nonprofit, and private sector. His clients include finance and tech startups, philanthropies, charter school networks, and design firms. Ben is a champion of growth.

Ben is the founder and former CEO of Collegiate Academies, a network of innovative public high schools in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, serving 2,500 of the most disadvantaged children in our nation. Collegiate Academies’ student populations have the highest rates of poverty, disability, incarceration, and academic deficit in the state. Many enter the ninth grade on a fourth-grade level or lower in both reading and math. Yet, after over a decade of developing and utilizing a set of proven tools, over 90 percent of Collegiate Academies students earn college admission. Ben’s work alongside Collegiate Academies has won him various awards and recognition, including accolades from the Accelerate Institute, The Oprah Winfrey Show, and multiple “Best Places to Work” prize committees. 

Ben holds a B.A. from Yale University and an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Before founding Collegiate Academies, Ben taught middle school and high school in New Orleans, Washington, D.C., and Boston. He has served on the faculties of New Leaders, Leading Educators, Future Leaders in the United Kingdom, and the Relay Graduate School of Education. Ben has been a fellow at the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, Achievement First's Charter Network Accelerator, the Pahara-Aspen Institute, Cambiar Education, and the Broad Academy.
