Ben Hallen

Ben Hallen keynotes address issues that business leaders are likely to encounter in their ventures. He speaks about building effective teams and relationships. He explores how to get the most out of one's education. He also examines the role networks play in business and how such networks can be leveraged to improve business. His insights into these matters are drawn from rigorous, academic study.

Still, his formal business education is top notch too, as he holds a Ph.D in Strategy, Organizations, and Entrepreneurship from Stanford University.
