Ben Abbey is a force of nature! I had the pleasure of working with him at SADA, where he was employee #2 in Canada. He single-handedly launched that market for us, going from individual contributor to Managing Director in record time. Ben built a high-performing team, exceeded revenue targets, and established SADA as a key player in the Canadian tech scene. He later led the incubation of our specialized Services Sales team, demonstrating his ability to drive innovation and growth. Ben is a strategic thinker, a passionate leader, and a true team player. Any company would be lucky to have him!

It was a pleasure to work with Ben at such a pivotal point in my career as a Business Development Rep. Always leading by example, inspiring and motivating many folks at SADA along the way, myself included to work smart not hard. He takes a hands-on approach to career-coaching with his forward thinking – if you are fortunate enough for him to invest in you helping to groom your sales career he inspires reciprocity in return by showing up being better than you were the day before.
