"Ben introduced me (working as j5 International CEO) to the Hexagon PPM corporation and guided our company ultimately to the Hexagon Acquisition.
Ben worked tirelessly in this endeavor and was always positive, available, encouraging, realistic and honest in every phase of the negotiation.
As a result of this work, j5 and Hexagon both emerged in a Win Win solution. In fact we are now poised to capture a significant market, one we would never had had the opportunity to tackle without Hexagon.
I can unreservedly recommend Ben: Acquisitions are trying and complicated and Ben was always there to help us reach this great conclusion."
