Benay Yaldaram

„It can’t be done“ has never been a very useful starting point for me. My instinct is usually: what would have to change for it to work?

My career has developed at the intersection of business, people and communication — from key accounts and business operations to consulting, communities and projects. I am strongest where progress is blocked and someone needs to connect the right people and interests and move the situation toward a practical result.
