About Ben Heisler

As we are living in an ever-changing digital age, I aim to deliver actionable insights through transforming granular and complex data into clear and impactful narratives for strategic decision-making. I graduated from Miami University in 2023 with a Bachelor\'s in Business Administration. During my time at Miami, I was involved with Miami Business Consulting, a student-run consulting firm that partners with EY in order to help local and early-stage companies reach their goals through assistance in strategic initiatives. As a project manager, I was able to learn how to communicate and manage deals with top-level executives as well as properly orchestrate project timelines and key objectives. I am currently an FP & A analyst for Lids Sports Group in Indianapolis, where I primarily work on the Fanatics-Lids College joint venture. I\'m in charge of managing a 9-figure budget that includes a portfolio of over 700 collegiate bookstores. This position has allowed me to develop skills such as strategic thinking, data interpretation, and storytelling. In terms of hobbies and passions, I enjoy meeting new people, traveling, trying new food, playing golf, and watching Michigan football/basketball.
