OUR TEAM

With a background rooted in operations and a future-oriented approach powered by automation, digital transformation, and strategic partnerships, Benjamin combines analytical thinking with real-world execution. He brings a proven ability to identify undervalued opportunities, negotiate win-win deals, and structure acquisitions that preserve legacy while unlocking new levels of performance.
Benjamin’s acquisition philosophy is simple but powerful: strong businesses deserve smart scaling. Through Vabe & Co., he works with founders ready to exit or partner, helping them transition smoothly while ensuring their teams, customers, and systems are set up for long-term success.
Whether it’s logistics, care, recycling, or digital commerce, Benjamin is passionate about industries that keep the world moving — and building the infrastructure behind them. His approach is marked by integrity, strategic foresight, and a deep respect for what entrepreneurs have built.
When he’s not assessing deals or collaborating with advisors, Benjamin is mentoring emerging founders, optimising operations, and spending time with his wife and four children, always finding the balance between legacy and lifestyle.

I focus on strategy, deal flow, and growth planning, especially for owners considering retirement or succession. I also look at operations, marketing, and automation post-acquisition. Some of it is technical, some financial, and some just… people: trust, timing, alignment.
No two businesses are alike, which is why I love this work.
What I do:
• Source and assess acquisition opportunities
• Support due diligence and negotiation strategy
• Create operational and marketing growth plans
• Think through business structure, team potential, and systems
• Keep everything as simple and human as possible

My leadership style is grounded in clarity, empathy, and a vision for long-term success.
