Ben Parsell is a UIF Alumni from Grand Valley State University who studied Information Systems.
Now based out of Detroit, MI, Ben works at Instacart as a Sales Engineer supporting enterprise and local independent grocers with their digital commerce platforms, helping demo, scope, and partner with those retailers to build out a strong and tangible product experience for customers across North America.
Prior to Instacart, Ben had spent two years with VTEX, an enterprise digital commerce platform, and 3-4 years with OST, a local digital consultancy in Grand Rapids, MI. UIF had helped set the foundation during his college tenure to ensure cirtical thinking, problem solving, and work ethic were a core pillar of how he carries his day-to-day work now.
During college, Ben had gotten involved in a number of school-related projects, or clubs. One of those being the Collegiate Entrepreneur’s Organization (CEO) at GVSU, where Ben served as President for two years. He had also currently worked on a design thinking team to address the overall accessibility on campus for persons with disabilities.
Outside of everything else, Ben loves long-distance running, cooking, coffee and hiking in the deep wilderness, and is loving the downtown Detroit life.
