“Rob is an amazing project manager that shares good wisdom around him. His vast experience can be felt in everything he does and he ensures others benefit from it. He was given two complicated projects and he managed to overcome the many difficulties thrown at him in a complex, low-guidance environment and, at the same time, he was also able to create collaboration mechanisms effectively across the organization. Hire him if you can!”
