Lee Benson Bio

I’ve spent over 30 years in the business world, focused on one thing: creating value. Today, I’m the CEO of Execute to Win, where we help organizations of all sizes accelerate the value they bring to the table. My journey into value creation started way back when I was pulling weeds for just 25 cents an hour.

Since then, I’ve had the privilege of founding and leading eight companies, including Able Aerospace. What started with just two employees grew into a team of 500, serving 2,000 customers across 60 countries, and we eventually celebrated a 9-figure exit in 2016. It’s been an incredible ride!
