Over the years, Robert has developed and delivered strategies for a wide range of companies including Sunshine Wireless Communications, Broadcast.com, and Yahoo.

At Yahoo, Robert served as a company evangelist, consulted with customers such as Intel, NY Life Insurance Company, Avantel, and Columbia TriStar films about their integrated strategies and counseled senior management at Yahoo on how to sustain the business long term in their local countries.

Prior to Yahoo, Robert was Senior Director of Sales and Marketing Technology for Broadcast.com. At Broadcast, he developed the sales strategies and revenue models for the startup. He also built the sales forces for the three major departments inherent to Broadcast.com’s business. Robert was responsible for forecasting and achieving the company’s sales goals, which eventually lead to a groundbreaking IPO.

Robert is also actively involved in community affairs. He teaches a course in arts and entertainment to high school seniors as a volunteer in the Junior Achievement program, the nationally renowned initiative that brings real-life business experience and guidance into the classroom to help students make informed, intelligent decisions about their future. Robert himself was a student in a Junior Achievement class in high school, and sees his volunteer work for JA as a way of giving something back to a program that he found to be extremely beneficial to his later entrance into the business world.
