"Rob has consistently shown himself to be highly driven, innovative and creative in his work, and I have found Rob to be at his best when challenged with broad and complex problems. A genuine team player, he is flexible in his approach to tasks; confident in his own style and abilities but always willing to accommodate others in order to achieve the best outcomes possible. This is highlighted in his successful relationships not only with colleagues, but with other departments such as sales and CST, but also with clients. He is willing and able to take ownership not just for his own work, but for the entire product where required, remaining knowledgeable and curious about developments and strategic direction. Rob is very capable of conducting his own research, utilising all the resources available to him and condensing these findings into usable insights. This combination of qualities provides great reassurance to me personally, that whatever the task, project or request, Rob will not only find a way to deliver, but will also have ensured that was the best approach available. A genuine pleasure to work with; he brings an energy and positivity to the workplace and is a consistent source of inspiration and motivation."

"Rob has continued to be an invaluable member of the crisis sim content team and a critical contributor of content. Rob is a positive, fundamental, member of the team who should continue to be well recognised for his continued, consistent, hard work. Rob has also demonstrated exceptional agility, professionalism and drive, and I firmly consider Rob to be "my right hand", in all areas - supporting with the team, driving content and the product forward, and managing internal and external clients and stakeholders. If we didn't have rob the product would be way behind where it is now."

"In short, Rob has been tremendous to work with. Three things that really stick out when working with Rob are his; work ethic, amazing w/ clients and immense knowledge. Work Ethic - I had the pleasure to work with Rob on a very large project with the Federal Reserve Bank and IBM. This was a very demanding client with very demanding time frames. At no point through the whole cycle did Rob even come close to complaining about the crazy deadlines of the project. In fact, he actually did the exact opposite and worked feverishly to complete everything for the deadlines. Which included working on trains while he had days off. It was extremely refreshing and truly impressive work. Amazing w/ Clients - Rob also displays tremendous confidence and charisma while chatting with clients. This is very unique in my times with "technical" folks/non sales engineers. After seeing how Rob handles himself on calls, I would jump at the opportunity to bring Rob onto more client calls! He has great energy, effectiveness and charisma! Immense Knowledge - This goes without saying, but Rob is extremely bright and understands the ins and outs of IL. At no point did Rob waver or struggle with a technical request/question. Furthermore, his immense knowledge comes across in a tremendous consultative approach which eases the minds of clients. Kudos to Rob for all of his amazing work and I am happy to be able to call Rob with any questions or client calls that I have!"

"Working with Rob has been a pleasure. He has a natural ability to bring great energy to customer discussions and get a customer excited in what we are working on. You can easily see the passion he has for Immersive and the Crisis Sim mission in the way he goes about presenting the solution. While Rob is technically from the content team, he has an exceptional ability to demonstrate our solutions and hold interactive discussions with customers about how they can take advantage of our capabilities. If I didn’t know better, I would think Rob is a full blown SE, and not someone working on the back end. It takes a unique person to have the ability to speak in deep technical terms, while also being a great presenter and communicator. I’ve gone out of my way to bring Rob specifically into important customer discussions and will continue to do so (as long as I don’t drive him crazy) into the future."

"Rob help support the Federal Reserve Bank opportunity throughout 2020. The FRB opportunity follows a formal RFP process and as such the customer often requested information or clarification with very little notice. The FRB also required a formal demo (i.e. brand new scenario) to be designed, built and delivered in under a month. Rob was instrumental during these phases of the RFP, working closely with IBM to build and deliver a quality demo. As one of the early crisis sim opportunities, there were many challenges and iterations of the scenario - Rob had to show agility and drive to get the job done. Rob joined the important FRB customer call with IBM (about 30 people on the call) answering technical CCS questions and helping IBM navigate the platform. <br /> <br /> Rob works well with customers and partners, and has demonstrated excellent consultative and technical skills."

"Rob has always been a willing participant when I have asked if he will support a demo. He firstly is very prompt in his response to the request which make my life so much easier, but also makes himself available to fit in with the customer timeframes. Rob is intuitive to the customer needs and requests, and runs the demo in a seamless manner. He knows exactly what to do. His enthusiastic demos are absolutely where they need to be – he understands the customer (in my case, public sector), and knows instinctively how to talk to them in a manner they respond well to. He is very giving with his time and really does energetically throw himself in. I am always keen to get Rob on a call. Rob is punctual, presentable, follows the brief, is clear in his explanations and thoughts and is also extremely polite and friendly."

"Rob should be cloned. Whether it's supporting with content creation, being a sounding board for ideas, or just an enthusiastic presence, Rob always leaves you better off than when he found you. The only downside is we only have one of you."
