Ben Mann joined IBM in 1998 developing applications used to track product requirements and train field sales. In 2000, he wrote a dissertation using formal specification languages to model messaging and message brokering behaviors. Ben has held numerous marketing roles in the IBM software group, usually with some connection to WebSphere MQ and WebSphere Business Integration. He is fortunate to have cut his teeth alongside the very people who established the WebSphere MQ business. In 2002, he became the Product Manager for a product spin-off from WebSphere MQ that integrates mobile and wireless devices. By 2004, he took the role as Worldwide Product Manager for WebSphere MQ, and finds the whole business utterly fascinating. Ben is regularly accused of being passionate about WebSphere MQ. |
