With nearly three decades of experience building and leading a global pharma services company, Rob brings a wealth of expertise and practical wisdom to his executive coaching practice. Having navigated his own company through startup, growth, and acquisition, Rob intimately understands the challenges leaders face during times of transition and transformation. He now focuses on leveraging this experience to guide executives, emerging leaders, and young professionals in optimizing their potential and leadership capabilities.

Rob's coaching philosophy is deeply rooted in the principles he learned through the Columbia Coaching Certification Program at Teachers College, Columbia University. He combines this evidence-based methodology with the pragmatic insights gained from his entrepreneurial journey. Rob focuses on the "3Cs" of coaching: Context, Content, and Conduct. He works with clients to clarify the strategic context of their challenges, identify the vital few success factors that truly matter, and take informed action to drive growth and performance. 

Transitions are hard, and people need help. Whether it's stepping into a new leadership role, navigating a merger or acquisition, or guiding an organization through hypergrowth, Rob has the experience to mentor leaders through these seismic shifts. He focuses on helping clients maintain productivity, strategic clarity, and well-being during times of change so they can optimize their leadership and emerge stronger.

Rob's leadership journey began in childhood, when his parents instilled in him the value of being coachable -- welcoming feedback, constantly seeking self-improvement, and maintaining confidence through challenges. He carried these lessons into his professional life, continuously seeking knowledge and opportunities to enhance his skills. As his company grew, Rob became a go-to resource for mentoring and personnel development, helping to build a culture of learning and professional growth.

After stepping back from his corporate role, Rob realized his passion lay in developing the next generation of leaders. He now dedicates himself to this mission, partnering with clients on their leadership journey and empowering them to succeed. Drawing on his own experience benefiting from strong mentors, Rob sees coaching as a way to pay it forward.

Rob's approach focuses on cultivating strategic thinking, emotional intelligence, and creative problem-solving capabilities that translate to both professional and personal growth. Working with passionate, growth-oriented individuals, he provides candid, fair, and encouraging feedback that builds confidence and unlocks potential.

Holding an MBA and a Bachelor of Science, and trained as a certified Project Management Professional (PMP), Rob brings a multidisciplinary perspective to his coaching. Whether mentoring one-on-one or facilitating leadership development programs, he creates a collaborative partnership with clients, working to expand their ways of thinking and optimize their potential at all career stages.

With empathy, practical wisdom, and a commitment to continuous growth, Rob empowers leaders to navigate transitions, drive transformation, and achieve ambitious goals. His mission is to develop the leaders of tomorrow, one coaching engagement at a time.
