Greenville, South Carolina – September 10, 2021

Ben Talbert, founder and CEO of Better Than Found, a professional and executive recruitment firm focusing on industrial sectors in manufacturing, engineering, and construction, has been appointed to the SEAL Future Foundation (SFF) Networking Committee.The SEAL Future Foundation is a national non-profit that works to serve as "the lifetime transition partner of Navy SEALs" by providing aid to SEALs transitioning to civilian life through four pillars: health, career, education, and community. Two of SFF’s 24 local chapters, or “Forward Operating Bases,” are located in South Carolina, one in Charleston and one in Greenville.

"It is an honor to be able to offer my skills and experience to people who have given so much for our country," said Ben Talbert, CEO of Better Than Found. "Although we don't all share the same career paths, I have experienced the confusion and anxiety associated with career transitions. The Networking Committee offers a resource for SEALs who have identified potential civilian career options and need a network to help them connect. Every day I evaluate, assess, coach, and match great candidates with great companies and I look forward to using my skills to help SEALs who have already achieved greatness in one career find the right mission in the civilian world."

Talbert, who received a B.S. degree in textile engineering from N.C. State, is a member of the Southern Textile Association and served on the Board of Directors for the Upstate Chapter of the Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers for more than six years. He also serves on the Board of Directors for 3GEN Ministries, a local nonprofit that provides unique growth opportunities and formation for men and their families.
