Ben Rapp, CEO, Managed Networks

He founded the company in 1992 as a bespoke software development company and spent seven years working with a number of multi-national companies such as BT, Diageo and National Grid as well as numerous finance sector clients.

He established Managed Networks to build on the experience gained from resolving network issues and co-operating in the strategic development of our large corporate clients' networks. The aim was to take corporate know-how and service level expectations and apply them to the SME marketplace within Greater London.

A graduate of Oxford University, Ben is a member of the Institute of Directors (IoD). He continues to provide high-level consultancy services to large clients and is closely involved with the strategic and technical direction of Managed Networks.

Ben is currently chairman of Intellect's SME Business Development Forum and is on their MiFID working group.
