Ben Rayner, Founder - Strategic Sherpas
Ben Rayner is the Founder of Strategic Sherpas, where he's helped over 50 leadership teams eliminate the operational bottlenecks costing them time, money, and regulatory exposure. Through Think Tangible, Ben works specifically with highly regulated industries in sectors like financial services, healthcare, or pharmaceuticals, the challenge here isn't just inefficiency. It's making changes without creating risk. Most leaders in these industries can see where things aren't working. Analysts spending days reconciling data across siloed systems. Compliance teams manually checking outputs that should be automated. Teams unable to act on insights because governance processes weren't built for speed. But knowing what to fix and how to do it safely - is a different problem. Ben works with boards and senior teams to identify the 3 to 5 operational bottlenecks driving cost, slowing decisions, or increasing risk. From there, he helps design and implement improvements using a combination of process redesign and AI, with governance and control built in from the start. Former clients describe him as "the person who finally helped us see what actually mattered" - to help leadership teams move forward with clarity in environments where getting it wrong is not an option. Ben believes the biggest challenge in data isn't the technology. It's ensuring the right people can interpret, trust, and act on it safely
