I used Rob as an executive coach during a hyper-growth phase at Trax, when challenges were coming hard and fast as we scaled in the number of employees, customers and revenues. Rob was a fantastic coach both to me and my full executive leadership team.
During the time we worked with him, Trax grew from a small team of about 100 to over 1,000 people around the world with customers in over 80 countries. Rob played a critical role helping me to mature my leadership and managerial skills to the changing needs of the business. He also had a profound impact on our leadership team dynamics and culture.
I have worked with Rob for years to help me become a better executive, while coaching me through the ups and downs of entrepreneur life.

Through many coaching sessions for me, the other founders, as well as our executive team we all grew and became better in our roles. I highly recommend working with Rob if you are building a business or expanding your knowledge as a founder!

Rob made a huge difference – both to me personally and to our company.

Rob is a top class coach, mentor and friend.
Rob helped me realize that both me and the organization I was running would be better served if I step down as a CEO and transition that role to another exec. Someone who supports you through that process and helps you ensure all stakeholders buys in and are excited about the change. Rob is of that caliber.
Working with him was extraordinary.
As a fellow CEO who has witnessed the profound impact of Rob's mentorship, Rob has been an invaluable support to our business over many years. We have grown our organization more than 10x since across 7 countries. It would have been a much tougher struggle without Rob. His coaching has been invaluable as we scaled. 
Rob’s work with myself and our top team had a huge impact on our ability to build a scalable organization as we grew from 200 to 2,000 people. It also profoundly changed the way I think about my job. 
Rob has played a pivotal role in advancing my capabilities as a people leader. At a team level, Rob's invaluable frameworks and practices have facilitated the cultivation of a more positive and productive team dynamic.
For any companies startups or corporate aiming to unlock more potential in its people, I wholeheartedly endorse engaging with Rob!

For your organization to scale, every level within your org has to be able to operate to a high level of accountability. So it’s crucial that your mangers to understand what accountability really is and how to cultivate it in their teams.
Growing Founders into Scale-Up CEOs
Founders are great at getting stuff done. Most learn how to delegate and make sure stuff gets done. But to be a Scaling CEO, Founders need to make a much bigger transition: from struggle to make the transition from Founder to Leader. Some are all vision with little to no management capabilities, while others lack the right communication skills or don’t know how to let go.
Growing departmental heads into C-Suite Leaders
Start-ups and smaller companies are built by dedicated functional heads, who are great at running their departments.
Unfortunately, they often struggle to grow into the C-Suite execs you need as your company grows, leaving you a dilemma: stick with them and endure the drawbacks and limitations, or hire someone above them and risk losing them.
Hiring & Integrating Experienced Leaders
The flip-side of the previous challenge: if you do need to bring in senior talent, it’s challenging to find the right people who can integrate into your culture and organization. But without them you may not have the expertise, experience and leadership your company needs to reach the next level.
Building High-Performing Teams
High-performing teams are the foundation of organizational performance - and your top team is the most important of all.
High-growth companies need to ensure their top team is super tightly aligned and working well together on the company’s biggest issues. Otherwise, there will be problems lower down the org and farther down the road.
Preventing Silos
Organizational silos are a bit like early-onset arthritis: a disease that we think only afflicts old companies, but which actually sets in much sooner than you’d think.
Maintaining truly effective cross-functional collaboration is one of the hardest challenges for scale-ups - but also one of the most important to overcome.
