Ben Sever: Tampa Grown Serial Entrepreneur

May 3, 2022

Ben Sever is a serial entrepreneur, enterprise technologist and renowned philanthropist. He holds the CEO, Chairman and Founder role for eRemede, Champa Bay Sports, Deal Closer Digital, Quantum Evolution, MBP Ventures and RGA Institute. He has spent his dynamic career empowering innovative technology, corporate culture, philanthropic awareness, entrepreneurial acceleration, creative communications and purpose-driven brands. After spending 3 years in Manhattan to gain Fortune 500 experience with companies such as Oracle and ADP, he purposefully brought his Tier 1 market expertise and network to Tampa in order to bolster its innovation ecosystem.

Ben has held leadership roles in prominent organizations such as AdventHealth Carrollwood Foundation, Tampa Bay Wave, Synapse Florida, The Tampa Club, Project Transition USA (MacDill AFB), Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, The Tampa Bay Chamber and The Florida Association of Veteran-Owned Businesses. His largest venture, eRemede, has raised more than $2MM in capital since its inception in 2019 and is poised to be a market leader in HIPAA-compliant mobile patient engagement. Ben’s six-company portfolio, Phoenix Portfolio Partners, is headquartered in his hometown of Tampa, Florida but services national clientele. His cohesively synergistic portfolio is rapidly becoming the premier one-stop-shop partner for progressive businesses due to the mission-critical, comprehensive offerings and industry-agnostic track record. Mobile engagement technology, corporate wellness, photography/videography/public relations, branded promotional collateral, tech-enabled growth strategy and human capital management are timeless, foundational bedrocks to catalyzing sustainable impact (phoenixportfoliopartners.com).

In addition to Ben’s B.A. from Elon University, he maintains a relentlessly thorough self-improvement cadence of both experiential execution as well as educational achievement. Although he has attracted world-class talent, board members, vendors and partners, he still takes ownership of pivotal tasks across all departmental deliverables. Ben believes that mentally oscillating between macro strategic vision planning and micro-operational execution has kept him well-rounded, grounded and relatable (ie. market research, website design, fundraising, recruitment, infrastructure architecture, technological development, board formation, corporate social responsibility, go-to-market strategy, sales enablement, data analytics, corporate governance, compliance, corporate social responsibility, financial literacy, community relations, vendor procurement, etc). Both Ben and his award-winning team endorse this “growth catalyst” approach and deem it a paramount factor to consistently exceeding unprecedented milestones and cultural expectations. Maintaining and implementing a collaborative, transparent, enterprise, innovative, authentic, sustainable, motivating, philanthropic, psychologically safe, passionate, accelerated ecosystem is Ben’s North Star.

The majority of Ben’s 30+ certifications (and growing) span topics of leadership, healthcare, software, entrepreneurship, retail, emotional intelligence, economics, socioeconomics, data science and marketing. In addition to these courses from Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, Dartmouth, Berkeley and Cornell, Ben has prestigious Agile Project Management certifications from the Scrum Alliance and IBM; Certified ScrumMaster (CSM), Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) and IBM Design Thinking Practitioner).
