About Robert

A successful engagement for my clients is one that enables them to take actions that will drive sustained, profitable growth for their business.”

Robert has pioneered cutting-edge approaches to help companies drive sustained, profitable growth through efficient management of the growth process — including identifying growth opportunities, focusing innovation on the highest-value customer needs, accelerating learning, mitigating risk and establishing accountability for results. He has also done substantial work on broadening clients’ innovation capabilities to encompass not only products and technology, but also services, customer experience and new business models.

Robert has specific expertise helping organizations overcome the unique challenges of developing profitable, solution-centered business models within traditionally product-, technology- or operations-oriented businesses. This includes groundbreaking business model transformation in precision agriculture, mining, oil and gas exploration, and process automation, among other industries.

Robert also has substantial experience working on entrepreneurial ventures in and outside of large corporations. He has been responsible for generating and evaluating new venture concepts, working with both startup management teams and venture capital/private equity investors. His venture-related work has involved zero-stage business concept development, designing new business models, developing go-to-market strategies, using iterative test-and-learn approaches and helping to secure financing. Robert has also designed and helped to optimize incubator models for corporations.

Rob holds a Master of Business Administration with a concentration in finance from The George Washington University, a Master of Arts in economics and a Master of Science in foreign service with honors in international business from Georgetown University, and a Bachelor of Arts in economics from Dartmouth College.
