Ben Bowen - CEO & Founder

Ben is the Open Door Media CEO but will act as your business's fractional CMO.

Ben has 20 years of experience building businesses in multiple sectors. After a successful start to his career with Xerox Canada, Ben quickly ventured into entrepreneurship.

His first venture, Seaway Document Solutions Inc, which he purchased in 2002, grew 11x by the time it was acquired in 2013. He then co-founded a startup software company where he acted as CEO servicing the global shared workspace industry. After another successful exit, Ben started consulting for Canadian-based SaS firms. His main focus was developing the go-to-market strategy for recently funded companies.

Since 2016, Ben has continued consulting alongside his latest venture at Open Door Media which is a full-stack marketing and consulting firm focused on revenue growth strategies. His most rewarding time at work is spent working alongside entrepreneurs trying to grow their market share for the product or services they offer.

Outside of work, Ben’s passion is his family. Being a Dad is the best title he has ever achieved. He loves to stay active, get outside, read everything he can and cheer for his favourite sports teams (Leafs & Dolphins).
