Originally trained as a lawyer, Ben received a LLB with honours in 1995 and
a LLM in 1996, both from Cardiff University – one of the prestigious ‘Russell
Group’ of leading British universities. Immediately upon graduation, Ben
was appointed as one of the youngest ever faculty members of both the
university’s law school and business school, where he quickly developed
his engaging and facilitative teaching style. He specialised in medical and
healthcare law and was named Welsh Lawyer of the Year in recognition of
his advocacy, teaching and advisory work with the National Health Service
in Wales.
Following a move to management consulting in 2001, Ben worked
with numerous public and private sector organisations – including the
UK Ministry of Defence, Department of Health, LogicaCMG, Capgemini
and Sanofi Avensis. During this time he also served as the interim chief
executive of a Brussels-based healthcare NGO that lobbied and worked
with the European Commission and Parliament.
In 2006, Ben briefly became a familiar face to millions in the UK when he
beat over 10,000 applicants to become one of the stars of the BBC business
reality show ‘The Apprentice’ after having fought a successful three year
battle with advanced cancer, from which he was given only a 30 percent
chance of survival. Later that year, he was appointed General Counsel and
then Commercial and Legal Director of one of the UK’s leading private
healthcare providers. In the same year, Ben was elected as a Conservative
Party politician in south west London where his responsibilities included
overview and scrutiny of the delivery of healthcare services in the capital.
In 2008, Ben was awarded an Executive MBA scholarship by Henley
Business School. One of the world’s top business schools, Henley is
consistently ranked Number 1 in the world for student quality by ‘The
Economist’ magazine.
Ben is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine and a Member of the
Institute of Directors and the Institute of Healthcare Managers. He is a
regular speaker on healthcare management issues at both national and
international conferences.
