Ben Kerkhof

Ben is 37 years old, father of three and lives in Finland.

Ben had several commercial functions within the Finnish telecom industry before he joined Compare Group in 2003. He was responsible for general management for five years, but he recently let go of all operational tasks, and his focus is now on the internationalisation of Compare Group. His passion is to realize Compare Group’s objective of international growth. Setting the right goals, being and thinking creatively and, working together with the super team that works at Compare Group, are all important parts of making this dream come true.

Things that inspire Ben are the books Good to Great, by Jim Collins, and Now Discover Your Strengths, by Marcus Buckingham. Ben: “Doing things brilliantly takes about as much effort as doing things averagely. With just a little extra attention and thinking we can excel. Especially when you work in a team where everyone knows their own, and each other’s strengths. Doing the things you do best is more fun, you achieve better results, and instead of taking, it brings you energy. Together with Compare Group’s team I want to make Compare Group a great company.”
