“I had the pleasure of working with Ben for nearly 3 years at Tesla. Mainly collaborating on several projects launching Model 3 Battery Module. I was impressed by his close attention to detail of the Engineering work he managed while demonstrating the ability to think about the overall objective and company mission. Ben proved he is able to step up beyond his role and add value to create a partnership between design/quality/manufacturing and supply chain teams. Ben is a critical thinker with comprehensive knowledge of his technical work. I would recommend Ben without reservation. ”
