Hi, I’m Ben Newcomb.
A growth strategist with extensive experience driving expansion and creating value in dynamic environments.
Early career efforts were pivotal in the growth of Spear Education, joining as the third employee at a leading provider of instructor-led clinical education. This role centered on enhancing professional expertise through innovative training programs. Over more than a decade, leadership responsibilities included starting and managing a large membership base with exceptional retention rates over 90% and cultivating strong industry relationships and global partnerships. These contributions were integral to the company’s successful growth and eventual acquisition.
Later, as head of sales for Pragmatic Institute, a global product management and data science training organization, led the team through a transformative growth phase—securing multi-year, seven-figure enterprise contracts, aligning offerings with evolving market needs, and positioning the company for a high-value second-round private equity exit. That process attracted 28 offers and delivered exceptional investor returns.
Committed to building high-performing teams, developing strategies that align with organizational goals, and scaling businesses sustainably. The approach emphasizes collaboration, innovation, and a dedication to achieving meaningful results.
