Rob’s passion for education and innovation has been evident throughout his career. He previously taught business at Western University and was able to instruct hundreds of aspiring students and future leaders. As a lecturer he became a published author and responded to plenty of questions (the answer to most of which were, of course, in the syllabus). Rob also has experience in the startup ecosystem, having previously worked with a small team to organize and execute corporate hackathons, conferences, and design thinking workshops. Over the past few years, Rob has dedicated himself to supporting both domestic and international startups, helping to unlock their potential and set themselves up for success.

Away from work, he often spends his time reading or checking out a new game—recommendations are always welcome!
