Colleagues describe him as "Ben had been a tremendous asset to our business development team at Taconic. He had his customer’s interest at heart, but equally assured that entering into a business relationship had been in the best interest of Taconic. I had the privilege and pleasure of working with Ben for four years during which he performed admiringly in two different roles. Ben possesses a remarkable combination of technical skills, analytical skills, creativity, organization skills, and he has a tremendous work ethic. I would highly recommend Ben to any organization." and "To whom it may concern: I hired Dr. Benjamin August into his role as Scientific Business Development Manager for Taconic Europe A/S in July 2009 and was his direct supervisor in this function. Due to Taconic going to a global divisional structure end of 2010, his position was transferred into a different business unit, but we continued to interact on a regular basis. In July 2013, I was able to convince Benjamin to take on a role in the Research and Development department of my business unit as Head of RMS Product and Market Development. I have always been impressed by the breadth of scientific knowledge that Benjamin offers, which is paired with his ability to quickly understand the core of new subjects and develop ideas for applications. Benjamin is a most intelligent, analytical and logical person, who enjoys a challenge and a professional environment. But he is also a warm person with lots of humor, energy and is a great team leader or team contributor. Leading a diverse team of customer service members, project managers and marketing in his initial role, Benjamin excelled at forging a team spirit and building trust in his team members. Due to his team’s success, we entrusted Benjamin with more team members to cover additional territories soon after. For the past year and a half, serving as project manager in different R&D projects with colleagues but also external partners, his performance was commendable. Benjamin’s vast scientific knowledge together with his keen sense for business and understanding of the market has served him exceptionally well and has fully justified my trust in him. Benjamin has gained the respect of international experts in different scientific topics with ease, be it in Metabolic Diseases, Oncology, Embryology, Molecular Biology or the emerging field of Microbiome research, building and strengthening Taconic’s partnerships. As a “sparring partner” for me and other executives, Benjamin has served Taconic in refining our scientific strategy and weighing options. When working on issues, he is able to go from detail to context and context to detail almost seamlessly, and is good at pinpointing the core of the problem. Benjamin comes up with pragmatic solutions rapidly and is always guided by his desire to achieve optimal results. Taconic currently undergoes another global re-structuring which leads to my transitioning out of the organization. I want to take this opportunity to thank Benjamin for his contributions to the company and his tireless efforts to develop new offerings to address unmet market needs. It was a pleasure to work together and I hope that we will have a chance to do so again. I wish him the best for his future. Sincerely, David T. Hansen February 1, 2015"
