About Benjamin Henkes
Benjamin grew up in Berlin, Germany and traveled to Jackson in 2020, where he was struck by the magic of the Tetons and the incredible community. He holds a PhD in Finance from the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland and has spent much of his career working at the intersection of global strategy and social impact.
Having previously served as Head of Global Programs at the Berlin-based non-profit World Horizon, Benjamin is passionate about building partnerships with NGOs around the world and supporting underprivileged students through scholarship programs. His work has taken him across the globe, collaborating with diverse teams and driving initiatives that make a real difference in the community.
In his prior role with global strategy house Kearney, Benjamin spent 10 years leading transformations for major companies and working closely with C-suite executives. During this time, he also worked with the World Economic Forum and Harvard Business School on projects focused on global resilience and entrepreneurship.
Outside of work, you’ll find Benjamin whitewater kayaking, mountain biking, or backcountry skiing in the Tetons with his family and friends.
