Ben Chemla

Ben has been building cohesive teams and companies from the ground up and scaling them fast across Europe and the US for 10+ years. He is a business angel and an IMF-certified trader with a background in business law. Ben launched on-demand delivery platform Stuart right when the gig economy began to boom – so navigating delicate regulatory environments is nothing new to him. The company raised €22M pre-launch and was acquired by La Poste. It now operates in 100+ cities with over 500 employees. At Shares, Ben is again creating a completely new community-based service that transforms the way people interact and live – and bringing together a bold team that knows how to keep pushing forward to bring a new vision to life.
