About Ben Freeman
With over 15 years of experience in building and leading businesses and teams across the retail and e-commerce sector, I am an entrepreneurial leader with a passion for delivering innovative solutions and outstanding results. I have a proven track record of implementing processes, data and analytics, strategy, technology, and organizational structure to drive growth, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.As the President & Partner at Powerplay Retail, I enabled large consumer electronic, sporting goods, housewares, CPG, and apparel brands to go to market across major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. I also co-founded and scaled a thriving Amazon e-commerce and distribution business that exceeded $100M in annual revenue and managed a global team of 100+ employees. In addition, I leveraged my proficiency in oral and written Mandarin to communicate and collaborate with international teams and partners. I am a strategic problem solver, analytical, hands-on manager, and collaborative business professional who can assemble and engage a team and bring concepts to life.
