Ben Silas Group Chief Commercial Officer, EFM Global

Ben Silas leads global commercial strategy at EFM Global, one of the world's foremost specialists in logistics for live entertainment, sport, and large-scale events. As Group CCO, he oversees international commercial operations, drives revenue growth across key markets, and ensures EFM's clients - from touring music acts to major film productions - have a logistics partner who can deliver anywhere in the world, on deadline, without fail.

Before taking on the CCO role, Ben spent more than five years as Managing Director of EFM's European operations, where he built high-performance teams and executed large-scale commercial growth. Earlier, he spent 13 years at UPS in senior leadership, managing multi-country operations and designing supply chain solutions across diverse sectors.

Ben is a recognized voice on the commercial and operational pressures unique to live entertainment logistics where a missed deadline doesn't mean a delayed shipment, it means a cancelled show. He brings a practitioner's perspective on global account strategy, contingency planning, ESG shifts reshaping supplier relationships, and the fast-approaching digitalization of international customs processes, including the rollout of the digital carnet system transforming how the industry moves equipment across borders.
