Benjamin Curtis is a Owner at The Single Cask Japan. Colleagues describe them as "I worked on the support team with Ben at SolarWinds/SentryOne for 3.5 years. I was always impressed by Ben’s technical problem-solving skills and his effective communication. When dealing with customers, Ben always went above and beyond. When reviewing his cases, you could see that he wasn’t simply solving customer issues. He built a connection with clients by showing empathy and practicing active listening. Ben is the ultimate professional. I also admire his dedication to continuous learning, which is displayed by his recent ScrumMaster certification. He never becomes comfortable in his position and believes he must continuously learn new skills to be effective. He is an asset to any organization. To come across a devoted employee and colleague such as Ben is rare. It is an honor and a privilege to say I had the opportunity to work alongside him. Are you considering hiring someone else instead of Ben? Don’t. He’s your guy." and "I had the pleasure of working closely with Ben during our time together at SolarWinds (and SentryOne before that), where we both served as Applications Engineers. Throughout our collaboration, I was consistently impressed by his dedication, professionalism, and aptitude for problem-solving. Ben demonstrated a keen ability to navigate complex technical issues with ease, always striving for excellence in his work. One aspect of Ben's role that particularly stood out was his proactive approach to professional development. He pursued and obtained his Scrum Master certification, showcasing his commitment to enhancing his skills and expanding his knowledge base. This initiative not only demonstrated his ambition but also positioned him as a valuable asset to our team. Beyond his technical proficiency, Ben consistently exhibited strong leadership qualities and excellent communication skills. He fostered a collaborative environment within the team, encouraging open dialogue and facilitating productive discussions. His ability to effectively communicate complex concepts and facilitate consensus among team members greatly contributed to our project's success. In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend Ben for any role in product management or Scrum Master. His dedication, professionalism, and expertise make him an invaluable asset to any organization. Ben consistently demonstrates a strong work ethic, a passion for continuous improvement, and a genuine commitment to driving results. I have no doubt that he will continue to excel in his career and make significant contributions wherever he goes."
