Robert has a thorough knowledge for all the different products that he works on, and that knowledge was instrumental for assisting my integration into the Software Business Unit. Robert was very clear in all of his explanations of the products in Brocade’s portfolio, and he was very skilled in giving me direction. I found Robert to be very accessible and proactive to help when necessary. Robert was an absolute pleasure to work with.", "Robert was not just a co-worker; he was a mentor in every sense of the word. I started working with Robert as an intern fresh out of college on the software PMM team at Brocade before joining the team as a regular employee. With a strong technical background and a keen acumen for business and marketing, Robert was an amazing (and accessible) resource. He has a natural ability to lead and influence both his peers and his superiors. I was lucky to work with Robert early in my career, I hope many others get to do the same.", and "It is rare that you come across an outstanding talent like Robert. I have had the pleasure of working with Robert for the last 8 years and more recently I hired Robert two years ago in a Sr. Software Product Marketing role. I have always been in awe of Robert and his gift and acumen to be able to effortlessly handle both technical and business conversations and positioning. He has an uncanny ability to provide feedback and direction without making the team feel like they are being corrected. I was also particularly impressed with Roberts’s leadership skills as he moved with ease at all levels of the organization. During the 360 review process Robert always received the highest marks for his knowledge and collaboration skills. I will miss Robert and his humor without a doubt he is a top performer. Robert earns my highest recommendation, any employer would be lucky to have him. I would hire him back in a heartbeat."
