Ben Webb - Independent Project Director & Strategic Advisor

Ben Webb is an award-winning Project Director and strategic advisor specialising in the delivery and recovery of complex, high-risk projects across infrastructure, tourism, hospitality, and public-facing assets.

Named Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM) Project Manager of the Year (2022) and nominated for IPMA World Project Manager of the Year, Ben is trusted to lead when reputation, public visibility, and delivery certainty matter most.

With more than two decades of experience, Ben has directed some of Australia’s most complex and iconic projects — from large-scale IT, Digital and infrastructure programs and state-significant developments to high-profile tourism assets and live operational environments. His work spans government, private equity, and board-level advisory roles, often stepping in where projects have stalled, governance has failed, or risk has escalated.

Ben is known for bringing clarity, control, and decisive leadership to environments defined by complexity, political sensitivity, and intense stakeholder scrutiny. His approach blends rigorous project controls, commercial acumen, and executive-level stakeholder management to stabilise programs, reset delivery trajectories, and achieve outcomes under pressure.

Areas of expertise include:

• Complex project and program delivery

• Project recovery and turnaround leadership

• Infrastructure and capital works governance

• Executive and board-level advisory

• Risk, compliance, and operational readiness

• Stakeholder and government interface management

Ben works as a project manager and independent advisor, partnering directly with executives, boards, investors, and government leaders who require experienced leadership without the overhead or dilution of large consultancies.

He is engaged where decisions are difficult, time is constrained, and failure is not an option.
