Bio
Ben Snyder, CEO
Ben Snyder carries the weight of Systemation on his shoulders. Each success and area of improvement is taken personally. And that personal feel permeates through the company, setting it apart from all others. As CEO, Ben creates a vision for where Systemation could be and then develops an environment that fosters its accomplishment. He works tirelessly to keep the focus on excellence and relationship-based business practices. Ben is also an accomplished industry speaker.
On the inside, Ben is known as “the keeper of fun.” He sees that everyone at work has just the right amount of it. If things get too quiet, he starts goofing around. If things get a little wild, he sits back and watches. It’s a priority of his to maintain a fun atmosphere and is always doing special things for the staff to keep them motivated and happy. His visionary leadership and personal sense of character have made Systemation successful. Passing those keys on to clients is often what makes the difference in their business, as well.
Prior to acquiring Systemation and becoming CEO in 2000, Ben was founder and CEO of Snyder Integrative Consulting – a high-end project management consulting services organization. Before that he served as a systems integrator and project manager with Lockheed Martin, where he managed multiple technology-related projects budgeted in excesses of $20 million. At Lockheed, Ben established and managed a program office that oversaw a $300 million portfolio of projects. Before hitting project homeruns at Snyder Integrative Consulting and Lockheed Martin, Ben was a starting pitcher for the Houston Astros. He received his B.S. from Truman State and is married with three children. He is also a member of Young Presidents Organization.
