PRESIDENT

Ben Campbell is a Riso-Hudson Certified Enneagram Teacher, IEA-Accredited Professional, and the founder of Wild Enneagram. He is especially passionate about the possibility for the Enneagram to make us better planetary stewards--to connect our "inner work" with the "outer work" of healing the relationship between humans and nature. Ben regularly finds inspiration for this idea on his wanders through Maine’s forests and rocky coastline. wildenneagram.com

TREASURER

Old Saybrook, Connecticut

Claudia Pessagno currently works as Director of Energy Research at S&P Global Commodity Insights, with a regional focus on Latin America. The Enneagram found Claudia in 2018, at a time when she needed it most (but didn’t know it!). Her ongoing Enneagram studies, including with the Enneagram Prison Project, continue to help her peel back the many layers of her personality and to learn more about herself and her relationships. In her free time, Claudia is an avid birder, linguist, and pianist. She is excited to have this opportunity to share the Enneagram with other seekers!
