Ben Ullmann

Spear’s Review

Ben Ullmann, chief executive of Sanctuary Counsel, leads the firm with a ‘strategic vision’ that has seen its influence and client base grow significantly over recent years. Previously director of communications for the late Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, Ullmann brings over a decade of experience in strategic communications, reputation management and speechwriting. He has also served as a managing director at Teneo, where he advised CEOs and boards on everything from M&A to crisis management.

Ullmann tells Spear’s that Sanctuary Counsel has become renowned for its senior-led, tailored approach to reputation protection, offering guidance to individuals, governments and corporations facing reputational challenges. The firm also plays a key role in helping clients elevate their philanthropic initiatives, using their public profiles to create meaningful impact.

His philosophy is simple: ‘If you're a high-net-worth individual looking to promote and protect your reputation in a way that's creative, senior-led and bespoke, then Sanctuary is the place to go.’
