Ben is one of the most technically savy people I know. Hard working, leading edge, on top of his game. I'd do business with Ben any and every time.
In fact, I'm looking to follow his example right now and will be looking for some advice.

At Key, he was instrumental in creating and driving a completely new approach to online business management. And, his energy and spirit was contageous. I'd work with Ben again in a heartbeat.
Source: LinkedIn Carolyn Meacher Feb 19, 2013Ben Watson is truly a visionary thought leader in the advertising / media space with a clear understanding of what the future for the industry holds and what a “winner” will look like. However, what separates him from the pack of other so-called “thought leaders” is his ability to attract/retain top talent, build high performing teams, mobilize quickly and execute with a ruthless focus on the most valuable customers. Ben is one of the best and brightest managers that I have ever had.

Source: LinkedIn private private Feb 19, 2013Ben is one of the highest value "go to" people I work with at Adobe. He always delivers. Ben has the rare ability to nail the right long term strategy and roadmap AND roll-up his sleeves to get it implemented. I've seen him convince executives to fund new initiates, bulldog his way through operational roadblocks, and put a program in place from scratch -- all in a days work.
Source: LinkedIn Cheryl Kellond Feb 19, 2013I met Ben at a critical time in my development as a creative professional.
Ben was (and still is) a brilliant creative thinker that redefined the term (before it was popular) "thinking outside the box". Ben acted as a mentor to me and helped me shape my vision into a reality.
I will forever hold Ben in the highest of regards both as a close personal friend and as a dedicated visionary.

I've worked with Ben on a pilot start up...and then worked with him on platform evangelism where I saw Ben influence a ton of future devs. Ben is a star!
