Ben is an International Account Manager within Optibac's Export Team, bringing a distinctive blend of nutritional science and performance training expertise to his role. Before specialising in nutrition and probiotics, Ben spent eight years as a qualified Personal Trainer, developing a deep understanding of how lifestyle, movement, and diet intersect to drive health outcomes. This hands-on experience with clients laid the foundation for his academic pursuits as he went on to study Nutrition at Oxford Brookes University, where his research focused on comparing intermittent fasting with traditional calorie-restriction approaches for weight loss, a specialism that continues to inform his interest in sports and exercise nutrition.
Since joining Optibac in 2018, Ben has applied this dual expertise to educating international markets on the science of probiotics. A career highlight came in 2019, when he was invited to present to an audience of over 100 doctors and pharmacists in Romania - a testament to the trust placed in his ability to communicate complex nutritional science to medical professionals.
