Ben Hamlin '07

Ben Hamlin '07, who after years on Wall Street co-founded Localwise, will provide a 5-step framework for unleashing your inner entrepreneur. With experience in politics, banking, venture capital, and non-profit management, he will juxtapose more traditional career paths with entrepreneurship through the lens of his professional story and will provide strong opinions, contrarian viewpoints, and, most importantly, insights to help you navigate your career.

Ben Hamlin is a recovering finance professional turned entrepreneur. He is the founder & CEO of Localwise, a venture-backed startup bringing relationship-based hiring online for the uncollared workforce. 

From 2010 to 2015, Ben served on the board of directors for NYPACE, a non-profit that provides pro-bono consulting services to local business owners. He is now an Advisor to NYPACE and LiftEd, a startup that improves learning outcomes for students with disabilities.

Hamlin holds a Bachelor of Arts in Economics with Honors from Claremont McKenna College ('07) and an MBA from Berkeley-Haas (’14).
