Founder & CEO of PILOT. Host of The Lift.
I help growing companies turn their strategy into the way they actually work.
I'm Ben Brooks, an organizational effectiveness practitioner based in New York. I lead PILOT, a boutique consultancy that helps successful companies align their leaders, managers and ways of working with their strategy. Before PILOT, I was a Fortune 250 SVP of HR, led culture change across 25,000 people in 100 countries at Marsh, and was a management consultant at Oliver Wyman.
