My name is Benjamin Michaels, and I am a seasoned professional with 12+ years of operations management and business development experience in diverse sectors. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for change management, as well as for business consulting and financial analysis, I have a verifiable history of contributing directly to company growth and expansion throughout my career. As such, I have consistently exceeded budgetary and performance goals, and I am adept at achieving maximum operational impacts with minimal resource expenditure. Professional focal points include business development, regulatory compliance, process optimization, project management, culture development, strategic planning, and risk mitigation. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication and prioritization skills, as well as critical thinking, problem solving, decision making, and team building to support efficiency and maximum returns.
I most recently served as the Operations Director for a nonprofit with a national reach. Under my leadership, I spearheaded all activities related to national business operations and event production as well as negotiated optimal contract terms with key venues and vendors. I also assessed and reorganized operational systems and workflows in an effort to streamline integration while coordinating seasonal staff hiring, onboarding, and logistics. In addition, I liaised with senior leadership, stakeholders, and cross-functional teams to ensure the company’s operations support structure was driving the business forward with minimal expenditures.
Colleagues describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, business and managerial expert who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that deliver profitable results on time and under budget.
