Bob led a team that would massage customer orders through the manufacturing process, handling the daily communications internally and externally and serving as an advocate for the customer inside the factory to help to assure customer loyalty and satisfaction. Bob concentrated on the big picture while working to resolve issues with tact and patience. I was confident that Bob, as well as the team he managed, treated my customers in the way that I felt that they deserved and managed the projects with the customers best interests in mind, all the while promoting the best interests of the company.

I first met Bob professionally 14 years ago when he worked for me in the Business Development Group at Teledyne Oil & Gas. Through his strong analytical and interpersonal skills, he exceeded expectations. His extensive manufacturing process and schedule management knowledge, financial and technical expertise, plus his internal people and customer management skills ensured that the projects for which he was responsible were successfully executed on-time and within budget. Bob has a strong work ethic and is a dedicated professional who maintained strong communications channels with all levels of the organization while his negotiation skills were effective in the timely resolution of program issues from initial contract through design, manufacturing and product delivery.

I worked with Bob as a Business Development Director with shared customers and as the Vice President of Projects. Bob had a stellar reputation with his customers and was skilled at driving his projects home with great quality and delivery performance. He was well liked by his peers and was one of the top performing project managers in my team.

I have worked closely with Bob for over eight years on projects of various sizes and complexities and time and time again he has proven to be a top-notch project manager. Bob consistently maintains a high level of professionalism whether dealing with external or internal customers and at any level of the organization. He is committed to customer service and is proactive in resolving open actions in a timely manner and supporting his team in doing the same. His strong technical background gives him a great advantage when supporting engineers and when communicating technical issues with customers.

Bob’s detail-oriented, customer focused management style resulted in a very efficient project execution. He was always fast with responses and was not afraid to make tough decisions.

I always appreciated Bob’s practical, risk-driven approach to project management. Bob’s technical understanding of the product made it extremely easy to collaboratively establish priorities based on the needs of the program, and his excellent written and verbal communication skills ensured that team members, management, and customers were kept up-to-date on the status of all projects for which he was responsible. Bob maintained a strong rapport with all customers we worked with and will take challenges head-on to ensure the work scope is executed on-time, on-budget, and to specification.

I have had extensive interaction with Bob during our mutual employment at John Crane. I was always impressed with Bob’s professionalism and technical competence … two key elements to understand and lead Product Management. I would highly recommend Bob for any Engineering / Product Management position.

I worked alongside Bob for several years at Teledyne Marine/ODI – he in the role of Program Manager and me as a Project Engineer. He was a skilled manager; able to navigate the system, people and politics skillfully and keep the customer happy. He’s also professional and personable.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Bob at Teledyne Marine, during which time we worked on numerous projects together. He has proven himself to be an excellent project manager with his ability to juggle multiple client projects with ease. Bob possesses exceptional communication and leadership skills and can be relied on to make tough decisions.

Bob is an excellent project manager with the ability to bring a great attitude no matter the challenge. I had the pleasure of working with Bob at Teledyne Marine in my role as Customs Manager. Bob is a true pleasure to work with and I believe he would be a great asset to any organization.

Bob has the ability to understand all the components of a project no matter how small the detail. Bob is able to quickly define the critical milestones and objectives and execute plans to meet his deadlines.
