Chief Technology Officer

Ben Rivera
Phone (914) 633-0200
 

Ben is a highly experienced technical manager and network engineer with over 17 years of experience working with all aspects of complex financial services networks and over 10 years of cumulative background in handling business unit relationships and interfacing with IT management & staff counterparts at all levels. He has successfully architected, engineered and managed technical projects ranging from single segment implementations for senior executive management support to restructuring of Fortune 100 global enterprise networks.

For our Fortune 100 clients, Ben has managed and engineered large-scale data center relocation projects and driven them to completion within a twelve-month period, despite the failure of prior teams to attempt this project. Furthermore, the architecture put in place allowed a major banking institution's Funds Transfer Network (which processes over 1.2 Trillion dollars daily) to withstand the 9/11 disaster, despite loss of half of the carrier circuits. This not only allowed the financial transactions to continue processing flawlessly, but it allowed other business entities to "piggyback" on the network we had built, thus avoiding further disaster.

At Base One, Ben's responsibilities have included Network RFP analysis/response, technical approach recommendations and presentations for client projects such as WorldCom, FAA, Federal Services Agency BITS contract offices, and others. Additional responsibilities have included network architecture, design and business analysis in support of our corporate customer base.
