Benjamin Bryant is the author of Ultra-Luxury Travel: Transformational and wellbeing-led hospitality, published by Kogan Page in May 2026.

A former private equity adviser at KPMG and Grant Thornton, Benjamin spent nine years counselling investment banks, private equity firms, and family offices, and identified health and wellness as a distinct investment category over a decade ago.
