Ben Sauer

When I met Ben Sauer on London’s Southbank, it was clear this would be more than a typical brand shoot. Ben wanted London’s diversity, boldness, and urban variety to come through in his images, so we spent time discussing the grounded, insightful, and creative edge he wanted to convey. 

We explored the Royal Festival Hall and used the brutalist angles of the National Theatre, perfectly aligned with Ben’s style and vision.

With over 20 years in design and product strategy, Ben has led impactful work at Babylon Health and Clearleft, shaping user experiences and driving innovation. Now, as a trusted advisor, he helps leaders cut through the noise, make decisive choices, and align strategies with a deeper vision.

As Ben often says,

“Impactful leadership goes beyond technical skill—it’s about having the insight to see the big picture and the courage to act on it.”

Spending the day with Ben was inspiring; our conversations on design, innovation, and leadership showcased his passion for pushing boundaries. His story reminds us that great leadership is about more than strategy—it’s about embracing change and inspiring others to think and act with purpose. Through his work, Ben is shaping not just products, but the mindset leaders need to thrive creatively and authentically.
