After decades leading technology innovation at ExxonMobil, Ben transitioned from corporate leadership to purpose-driven impact through education and community service. Through a non-profit he founded in West Africa, Empower Playgrounds, he now dedicates his energy to mentoring young engineers and advancing STEM programs that prepare future leaders to solve global challenges. Ben describes this next season as deeply rewarding—a blend of lifelong learning, giving back, and finding new meaning in the power of shared purpose.
