As cofounder of coachlive, Rob’s career has afforded him an acute understanding of the importance of effective leadership at all levels of an organisation.
Rob's a passionate advocate of the need to disrupt traditional forms of leadership and management development with individualised, context specific and application based coaching solutions.
His perceptive leadership acumen has been published in two successful books; The Naked Executive, (Prentice-Hall 2001) and The High Wire Executive, (Penguin 2004), which he coauthored.
Rob’s corporate experience includes nine years in the IT sector with Compaq Computer Australia, where he held national sales manager, executive general manager, and ultimately company director roles. He also worked as project engineer and sales engineer for Honeywell Ltd in his early career.
