Ben Sullivan
Ben Sullivan has provided direct in-person support in the field over a dozen times across Team Rubicon’s West Branch including cache management and C&G deployments. He contributed to the logistics manual rewrite, field tech request process overhaul, and facilitated national functional onboarding meetings. He also negotiated a storage donation in Southern California, expected to provide significant budget savings.
For a recent, massive wildfire mitigation operation in California, Ben not only arranged for operations equipment transportation, fleet management, and accommodation acquisition, but also coordinated with external partners for multiple in-kind donations.
In the Pacific, Ben authored a comprehensive equipment increase plan to not only support a wildfire response operation on Maui, but on all the Hawaiian Islands. His efforts included identifying vendors, maximizing cost savings, securing storage locations, and playing a critical role in major operations across the islands.
Ben’s selfless decision-making, attention to detail, and technical expertise are truly commendable. These distinctive accomplishments reflect great credit on himself, the operations team, and Team Rubicon.
