Benjamin Gilad

Dr. Ben Gilad founded the Academy of Competitive Intelligence back in 1999. If long and pompous bios impress you, he refuses to play this game. Instead, you can read his profile at Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/bengiladaci/ and he'll be happy to connect. Let's just say he's been in the field of competitive intelligence and strategy longer than most of the people reading this bit have lived. Yes, he is that old. He remembers Moses (from the Bible). He wrote 6 books on CI; He trained the majority of competition analysts in the Fortunate 500 (no, it's not a typo); but --what he considers his most amazing achievement is actually writing a novel, There will be Hell to Pay, despite his limited vocabulary. And oh, yes, the photo is from 25 years ago. Can you tell the differences?
