Summary
Ben Mclean is a management consultant and former software engineer with 11 years of experience blending technical delivery and client-facing program leadership, now based in Kansas City. He has led financial services engagements end-to-end—driving revenue growth, negotiating complex contracts, and managing teams of 20+ SMEs—while earlier in his career building ERP finance modules and front-end products.
