"Ben is an evolved soul, harnessing deep commercial & product wisdom with the capacity to meet people where they’re at and truly listen to what’s needed. He speaks his truth. I feel so lucky to have met him and have him walk alongside me these past few years."
Simon Hampel
CEO, Sarsen
"I have worked in Telecommunications and technology for over 30 years, including four start-ups, and I have never met a better product management and strategy expert than Ben Reid. I have no hesitation in recommending Ben to anyone that wants to improve their product strategy, product execution, or generally their vision and future in market.”
David Waldie

“Ben is a special breed of Product & Business leader. Ben brings new insight to well established product theory, is a hands-on progressive with the latest technology and has proven to be exceptional at translating talk into impact. Ben is someone I know I can depend on and whose council I deeply value.”
Hugh McLachlan
CPO, MEGT
Ben's coaching and mentoring rewired my thinking about product management. Ben provided not only tools but a mental framework, giving me the confidence to navigate complex challenges. Building on my experience over the years, I still lean on those foundational principles, and recommend anyone looking to uplift their product mindset to get started on their coaching journey with Ben ASAP.
Tim Schier
CTO, SwitchDin
“Ben is the real deal! He's done it all from being a start-up founder, mentoring bucketloads of startups to building 0-1 products for Australia's biggest names. One of the highlights of my career has been working with and learning from Ben at Team DC.”
Amit Jaiswal
Senior AI Product Manager, Google
"Working with Ben shifted heavy sand for me personally and professionally. Deeply human centred thinking and a tactile ability to feel before he thinks. Ben is the archetypal all rounder, able to see the whole board and around corners. In a world full bluster and promise, Ben is the living delivery of the truths I needed and life strategy I couldn’t see for myself."
Adam Zammit
CEO, TEMPL
“Through years of engagement with Ben, I’ve come to see that creative leadership is second nature to him. While his experience and track record in generating deep and market-leading innovation speaks for itself, Ben’s ability to unlock and harness the creative potential of those around him is his true superpower. Ben allows acceptance, curiosity and focus to flourish - that’s where the Ben Reid multiplier effect kicks in.”
Damien Farrell
CEO Humbli
“Out of all my sons, Ben is the best at product by far, even though my son Jordan whips him at engineering and has much better hair than him. A+ would recommend.”
MUM
Chief @ Being Ben Reid's Supporter
"Working in partnership with Ben and his team this past year has been an excellent experience. Ben has challenged my thinking, championed the vision we were building toward, and kept the whole process enjoyable and engaging. This course may be Ben's newest venture, but his talent for helping clients achieve valuable and values aligned outcomes is well-established, as I've experienced firsthand through our collaboration. I'd confidently send team members or recommend colleagues to explore this as something potentially transformative."
Amanda Heard

"Ben is a hustler! His passion is infectious, he brings together the right people, shoots for the sky and delivers every time!"
Simon Litchfield
Advisor and Fractional CTO, Litchfield Advisory
"Ben is a highly curious and emotionally intelligent leader. As a past mentor and colleague he has always been brilliant at navigating tricky team and stakeholder situations, and problem solving through complex situations. He can both shape and inform ambitious north stars, while also being able to navigate execution across design, tech and commercial needs. He’s a good human and a lot of fun to be around. You’re always learning when you’re around Ben."
