Ben Legg Biography

Ben Legg is an engineer of business transformation. As the former COO of Google Europe and a former British Army officer, he has built bridges in war zones and engineered hyper-growth in boardrooms.

Today, Ben operates at the intersection of AI, talent, and capital. He is the CEO and Co-founder of The Portfolio Collective, the leading global community helping professionals build portfolio careers for a fast-changing world. He also serves as a strategic advisor to institutional investors on Wall Street, helping them decode opportunity and risk in the AI and technology sectors.

His career is defined by high-stakes leadership. From the Siege of Sarajevo to the executive suites of Coca-Cola and McKinsey, Ben has lived the challenges of crisis management and strategic pivots. As COO of Google Europe, he helped commercialise the platforms that define the modern internet - Search, YouTube, AdWords - giving him a unique "insider" perspective on the tech giants that still dominate the landscape.

Ben’s keynotes move beyond the hype to offer practical, data-driven blueprints for execution. He is a "Pragmatist" who helps leaders:

  • Demystify AI: Moving beyond the hype to implement AI for immediate ROI.
  • Future-Proof Organisations: Reconfigure their organisations for Human + AI collaboration.
  • Build Resilient Leaders: Build more thoughtful and adaptable leaders for a fast-moving world, drawing on lessons from the Siege of Sarajevo to the Google Boardroom and beyond.

On stage, Ben is high-energy, authoritative, and refreshingly direct. He challenges audiences to stop fearing disruption and start engineering their own future.
