ABOUT BENJAMIN SVEHLA

I am passionate about people and how to engage them in meaningful and impactful ways to meet the goals and mission of the organization. I have welcomed and embraced change throughout my career and possess a gift of communicating change in a way that\'s easy to understand and get on board with. I believe in building bridges between different teams and individuals to find common ground in order to best move forward. I have had the rare opportunity to work at both ends of the big box retail spectrum: Corporate and Store Leadership. Additionally, I have successfully led in a wide array of organizational structures, from top-down structures, to flat and very collaborative environments, and a combination of in-person, hybrid and remote work settings. This unique blend of experience has helped develop my communication and strategic skills to connect the dots at all levels of an organization while successfully developing accurate short and long term projections and risk mitigation strategies. I have a deep passion for developing talent and have delivered strong results and metrics at every position I have been in.
