About Ben Nichols
As a motivated learner, my leadership is consistently tied to direct experience, the influence of those who have invested in me and the perspective of those around me. Through purposeful diversification in roles across Sales, Supply Chain, Product Management, Marketing, and Technical Quality, I have been successful in creating value through cross-functional strategy and execution.Beyond the application of critical thinking and strategic problem solving, I am passionate about the development and sponsorship of team members and driving engagement to build an inclusive and effective culture. As a member of teams since youth sports, I firmly believe in the power of team success … \"It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit\" Harry S. Truman
