Keynote WIN in Workforce Summit 2024 Speaker:

Ben Utecht: Crafting Winning Cultures

Life can change in an instant, and Ben Utecht knows this firsthand. As a former NFL powerhouse and Super Bowl Champion, he transitioned from the football field to the corporate world, becoming the Chief Culture Officer at True North Private Equity. With a portfolio spanning 28 companies across 5 industries, Utecht shapes winning cultures that drive success.

His mantra? “Culture is a deliberate choice.” Utecht empowers organizations to design, deploy, and direct culture strategies that not only boost the bottom line but also inspire and uplift employees.

Beyond the boardroom, Utecht’s philanthropic focus lies in concussion awareness—a cause close to his heart due to a career-ending brain injury. His journey, chronicled in his book “Counting The Days While My Mind Slips Away,” sheds light on memory, relevance, and resilience.

As an award-nominated singer, Utecht’s talents extend beyond business. From performing for presidents to serenading Muhammad Ali, he embodies the modern-day renaissance spirit.
