innovation journey.

I'm Ben Sywulka. I’ve had the privilege working in innovation from many different perspectives over the past decade.
Innovation Consulting Experience
As an innovation consultant I worked with hundreds of companies (from small to huge), non-profit organizations, universities, industry associations and governments—helping them innovate more effectively.
Corporate Innovation Management Experience

National Innovation Leadership Experience
