Ben is Bark EUROPA’s Executive Director, connecting ship and shore while charting the organization’s course for the future.
A lifelong sailor, Ben spent years as a tall ship master before moving into leadership development, change management, and innovation. The sea never let him go, and after years of building his own companies, stepping aboard EUROPA felt like a natural homecoming, a chance to combine his love for sailing with his drive to build organizations that truly matter.
With his positive energy and unyielding optimism, Ben brings people together, building strong collaborations with partners and stakeholders. His focus is clear: to steer EUROPA toward new opportunities and a sustainable future, ensuring that every voyage leaves not only an imprint on her guests but also creates a meaningful, positive impact on the world.
Beyond the office, Ben plays guitar in a band, disappears into books, or takes his family sailing whenever possible.
