Ben brings considerable industry experience and familiarity with
Veracity’s services and global client base, having held a
succession of research, client management, and global executive
positions. Ben has overseen several of Veracity’s longest-standing
client partnerships and led firm-wide initiatives on critical
minerals, energy transition, and responsible business. Ben
established and has directed Veracity’s Australia office since
2017. Prior to joining the firm, Ben held research roles at
prominent think tanks in New Delhi and New York, advised Fortune
500 executives on strategic communications, and worked on Middle
East affairs in Washington, DC. He has degrees from the University
of Wisconsin-Madison and Columbia University’s School of
International and Public Affairs (SIPA).
“Ben is the right person to lead Veracity into its next
chapter,” said Veracity founder and executive chairman Steven Fox.
“His integrity and sound judgment have served our clients
exceptionally well as they have sought to anticipate and navigate
risks in opaque markets, and he is highly respected by every member
of our team. Ben’s background and understanding of Asia—a region at
the center of geopolitical change and of tremendous consequence and
complexity for business—will be major assets for Veracity and the
clients we serve.”
Fox added, “Ben follows in the footsteps of Jay Truesdale, under
whose leadership Veracity significantly expanded its client base
and services across strategic industries and geographies. I am
grateful for Jay’s enduring contributions as an inspirational
leader, sought-after expert, and trusted client advisor.”
“After nearly a decade in the business, it is an honor to have
the opportunity to lead Veracity,” Weiss said. “We have an
immensely talented team and the privilege of working with
extraordinarily sophisticated clients. I look forward to helping
them thrive in these challenging and uncertain times.”
