About Bob Rusch

My expertise is leading Sales, Marketing and Business Development functions. I have enjoyed delivering results in for-profit and non-profit roles leveraging my experience in multinational and regional companies. Building brand equity through motivating teams; establishing clarity of commitment; and solidifying marketing relationships are core to my success in enhancing product impact. Situations that motivate me are opportunities to champion development of a strategic vision in early straw man stages, defining and harnessing resources, creating marketing plans, and driving product campaigns that exceed goals.Early in my career I found an affinity in the Sales and Marketing area and realized the enhanced level of impact a product or service has when the promotion or presentation was matched with conviction and passion. As I quickly outperformed in my responsibilities in new sales acquisition and organic growth through my existing client base I realized the importance of integrity in the product and within myself for long-term success. This led to branching out and applying my learning's to an entire new product category. I discovered how the appeal of a brand message could drive value and self-worth for an individual if the emotional connection was authentic. This insight of value-oriented relationships with customers led me to explore not-for-profit impact opportunities. As I led my own company in the not-for-profit sector I enjoyed the rewards of the positive societal and community impact across the multitude of campaigns and events, and the tireless efforts of countless participants. I am currently a social entrepreneur continuing to develop a brand I founded and have enjoyed experiencing as it has matured over the years. I live in San Diego with my family and maintain a passion for meeting people, travel, soccer, golf and following our boy's lacrosse passion from middle school to college.
