About Benjamin W S.
Driving growth within the energy industry requires market knowledge, discipline, data and a competitive drive. I combine all four to deliver results.Entrepreneurial and results driven, I have 8+ years of experience in the power trading sector. My senior leaders and peers know me as a detail-oriented and entrepreneurial professional with knowledge across various markets, including SERC, PJM, MISO, SPP and SPP WEIS.Throughout my career, I’ve served as a trusted business partner to the senior leaders at The Energy Authority by mentoring junior staff, working on enterprise-level projects, and sharing strategic advice regarding market fluctuations, potential trade executions, trades, portfolio performance, and trends within the physical power market. I’m also quick to step in and keep our operations running smoothly as/when we experience disruptions to our workflows.Prior to transitioning into the power trading sector, I served in the Royal Navy as a Warfare Officer. While operating in a wide range of locations and environments, I earned a reputation for my blend of motivational leadership style, decisiveness, and ability to adapt within high-pressure, austere situations.The following are a sample of my areas of expertise: Business Operations Energy Markets Physical Asset Management Physical Power Trading Relationship Management Front Office Operations Supply Dynamics Energy Transmission Risk ManagementI am interested in contacting former colleagues and managers, as well as other professionals in my field.
