Background

About Benjamin Stoner

Hey, I’m Ben. Here’s my background and I am looking forward to meeting you! I was raised in Las Vegas in a big family and grew up loving art. University transformed that passion into a design degree during which I gravitated towards mathematical systems of design and problem-solving. My love of aesthetics and spatial thinking gave way to a deeper passion of solving problems with effective and elegant solutions. At my first corporate gig, early on, a critical colleague’s unexpected departure left me with a huge responsibility to develop omni-channel marketing initiatives that had to significantly grow revenues. I welcomed the challenge. So I led The Venetian’s first-ever offer app development and launch including testing and funnel improvements to boost conversion rates. I became committed to product management. Since going down that path, I have been fortunate to solve product challenges in a variety of industries and business models. I led multiple, global projects producing double-digit uplift at Caesars Entertainment. I went into an unfamiliar market (hunting), and created technology products that were completely disruptive, growing goHUNT’s revenue from near-nothing to tens-of-millions of dollars annually, and taking the crown as the clear market leader. » I have been working in technology leadership and product management for many years with a focus on team building and revenue growth.» I have learned how to build high-performing product management teams while promoting a motivating culture within the organization.» My background in the technology, hospitality, and outdoor industries has provided me with a well-rounded background in product development.»My style is entrepreneurial with a data-driven focus. I remain customer-obsessed, especially when it comes to business model validation, roadmap planning, and user research.» I enjoy mentoring future leaders and have proven success at enterprises and startups where I’ve owned customer and product life cycles across SaaS, LaaS, content, and eCommerce businesses across web and mobile.If you want to chat with a product leader with a strong track record of optimizing revenue at scale, then let’s connect on LinkedIn. Or if you know anyone else I should connect with, that would also be very valuable to me. Thank you!Ben
