Ben Baker

WHEN COMMUNICATION IS BENT, BROKEN, OR BEDLAM—CALL ME. Hi, I’m Ben Baker and I’m ready for what’s next. After 25+ years of helping clients across three continents tell better stories, lead change, and deepen relationships within my own agency, I’m seeking my next challenge as either a senior communications consultant or VP of Communications within a values-driven B2B organization. Focused on heathcare, manufacturing, logistics or government.. I want to be somewhere I can work as part of a dynamic team, create significant impact, and coach, mentor, and train the next generation of leaders. I’m especially excited to lead teams in areas like: • Internal & External Communications • Change Leadership • Brand & Story Development • Stakeholder Engagement • Customer Experience I help mid-to-large B2B organizations fix what’s not working—from fractured messaging to misaligned teams—and build communications systems that engage, influence, and drive results. Whether you're navigating uncertainty, scaling fast, or leading transformation, I bring clarity, structure, and strategy to internal and external communications so you can: ✅ Build trust across stakeholders ✅ Inspire alignment and buy-in ✅ Stand out in competitive markets ✅ Drive growth, reduce risk, and move forward with confidence ________________________________________
