Ben recently graduated from Northeastern University, where he studied business and political science. He finds the cannabis industry incredibly intriguing because of its novelty, unexplored potential, and competitive landscape, which provide ample opportunities for him and Tenax Strategies clients to thrive.
Ben is known for his adaptability and inquisitive nature, which have proven to be invaluable assets in enhancing his problem-solving approach to work. Beyond his academic pursuits, Ben has invested significant time into coding and computer programming, making him Tenax Strategies’ go-to person for anything technology-related. Within a few months of joining Tenax Strategies, he created efficient programs that automate manual data entry, streamlining team productivity.
Ben’s Work with Tenax Strategies
Ben started with Tenax Strategies as a remote co-op student from Northeastern University for one year before finishing his degree. Today, Ben is responsible for extensive research into the various zoning regulations, local laws, and state regulations impacting Tenax cannabis clients. His diligent work lays the foundation for Tenax’s client-facing team, ensuring they have the comprehensive knowledge required to serve their clients to the best of their abilities.
Although Ben is a recent addition to the Tenax Strategies team, he brings with him a strong background in business and an insatiable curiosity for the world around him. With a keen eye for problem-solving, Ben quickly recognized that the traditional method of presenting real estate listings in a spreadsheet format was not ideal for clients looking to open a cannabis retail shop. So, leveraging his expertise in programming, Ben built an interactive and personalized map to help the client navigate zoning regulations, identify heavily-regulated areas, and pinpoint the best real estate options available to open their cannabis business.
In his free time, Ben indulges his passion for science and technology, staying up-to-date on the latest breakthroughs in physics and space exploration. On Sunday mornings, you’ll find him cooking and continuing his education in programming through self-directed learning.
