Jonathan Stordy: Board Advisor Zamora Company & Puerto de Indias, ex CEO Russian Standard

“Rob has an outstanding ability to analyse any business and articulate the core strategic issues. His way of working is always based on a blend of performance and people focus which enables him to quickly chart a path to profitable growth that engages the whole team”

Sanjay Mazumder: M&A Integration Director and Board Trustee

“Rob is an excellent leader and empowers his team to deliver excellent results. Rob is able to set the strategic direction, explain the vision and outcomes to the team and then work with us to manage successful delivery. He is calm under pressure and an absolute pleasure to work with. I have been fortunate enough to continue to learn from Rob's experience and he is always willing to give back to guide others.”

Andrew Highcock: Advisor, Board Member, ex CEO MBWS

“As president of Kompania Piwowarska I recruited Rob to be transformation director. Rob led the creation and execution of our turnaround plan building a project team of senior leaders and young talents that continued the transformation momentum after Rob was promoted to run the Hungarian subsidiary.

In my role as global CEO of MBWS I recruited Rob as MD Poland & Baltics to create and execute a turnaround plan for a loss making subsidiary. This plan delivered a €20m improvement in underlying profitability and facilitated the sale to a trade buyer. In both roles Rob demonstrated clear strategic thinking, a relentless focus on execution and a capacity to align teams around setting and delivering stretching goals.”
