Summary
Speaker
Ben Sasse is a U.S. senator representing the great state of Nebraska. A fifth- generation Nebraskan, Ben grew up walking beans and detasseling corn, experiences that taught him the value of hard work. He comes to the Senate having spent the previous five years as a college president. When he was recruited to take over the failing Midland University, Ben was just 37 years old, making him one of the youngest college presidents in the nation. The 130-year-old Lutheran college was on the verge
of bankruptcy when he arrived, but became one of the fastest-growing higher education institutions in the country by the time of his departure . Most of Ben’s career has been spent guiding companies and institutions through times of crisis with straight talk about the core issues. He has worked with the Boston Consulting Group and McKinsey and Company, as well as private equity firms and not-for- profit organizations, to tackle failing strategies across a broad array of sectors and nations.
