"Bob is absolutely THE go to guy for creating effective and revenue driven partnerships. An expert at building and leveraging profitable relationships, he is able to avoid the sinkholes so many companies create when trying to do it on their own. Bob has an uncanny ability to take a CEO's vision and create strategies and tactics which accelerate that vision in truly unique ways... a valuable skill which I have seen in action."

Bob has a special gift for translating and presenting our ideas, value proposition, direction, and vision in a way I haven't seen in my entire 30-year career. I strongly recommend Bob to any organization."
Alex Rosenzweig

He was instrumental in developing a brilliant partnership strategy and opening doors to customers with his extensive network of high tech contacts, both of which contributed strongly to our growth. I can't imagine anyone better at helping new businesses gain traction."
Paul Czarnik
Contract CXO

Bob is a brilliant strategist. We worked on many M&A projects and product releases. He always brought "here's what customers and the market requires" and I brought "here is what's technically possible". Together we collaborate to make sure that our products provided value to customers. Bob is a great communicator and his communication skills resonate well with both customers and colleagues. In addition, he is both an ethical businessman and moral human-being.

"Every once in a while you meet someone who you hope you know your entire career. Bob and I met and worked together early on, and I've always admired his focus on the customer, his strategic focus, and his thoughtfulness. As we have kept in contact I can easily say these traits have remained constant and have fueled his success."
Haroon Alvi

"I first met Bob when he was Entrepreneur-in-Residence at STARTech Early Ventures where we mentored startups together. Bob's natural coaching and leadership traits were fully evident, and I've since watched him help other companies through his leadership roles. I heartily recommend Bob to anyone who needs an expert in business and marketing strategies. He's a clear thinker who can identify the important issues in complex problems."
