Rob's Biggest Challenge

The biggest challenge for Rob has been discussions and decisions around infusing capital in a world where the world of HR technology is blowing up. There's so much investment and acquisition because now people realize all the technology they have had for their customers, prospects and marketing folks. For the last five to six years, the company has been client funded.

Rob's Inner Superpower

Rob Prides in his ability to work hard through unknowns.  He has worked with startup companies for over 23 years. Some companies had less than five employees and no clear path, yet he still made it through. According to Rob, it's always a matter of moving forward and just being relentless regardless of the obstacles that are in your way.

Rob's Morning Routine

Rob is huge on consistency when it comes to his morning routine.  His day begins between 5:30 am and 6:30. He starts with working out, yoga or meditation, then gets ready for the day. He then replies to emails, and makes sure he has time to support people and meet his employees.
