Benjamin J. Derin is the Founder and CEO of S2Q Systems, the creators of the fast-growing Speed to Quote® software platform that is helping transportation and logistics companies respond faster to incoming quote requests. Ben found his passion for business at an early age while working at his father’s automobile dealerships. At 12 years old he started washing cars and cleaning the parking lot. As he worked his way up the company, he gradually took on roles in sales and finance. Prior to launching S2Q Systems, Ben spent the previous 12 years with MacroPoint, where he found his passion for both logistics and technology. During his tenure, Descartes acquired MacroPoint, and Ben was fortunate to continue his success in his enterprise sales role. Beyond work, Benjamin enjoys spending time with his family in Northeast Ohio with his wife, Kellie, and their two children, Sophia and Louis. His hobbies include golf, football, basketball, and hosting laid-back BBQ gatherings for friends and family.
