Colleagues describe him as "Working under Roger was the single best decision I have made in my career thus far. I began working for Roger in 2018, fresh out of college, and our work relationship continued through the beginning of 2022. During that time, Roger was not just my manager, but also a trusted advisor and mentor. Roger is the rare breed of manager who manages to deftly balance providing strong guidance and assistance with allowing his reports to operate with a degree of autonomy. His expectations for those reporting to him are high, but these simply mirror the high expectations that he sets for himself. Roger is tirelessly efficient in pursuit of his goals, and is able to push through any and all resistance to successfully complete the objectives that he lays out for himself and his team. This attitude provides significant inspiration and motivation to those who work under him, and engenders a high degree of loyalty. Roger is the definition of a selfless leader. He is unconcerned with titles and accolades for himself, but is relentless when it comes to promoting and advancing those who work under him. Roger is more than willing to give his reports high-profile, important projects, and has no qualms with allowing them to accrue any credit that may ensue. While working under Roger, I had the ability to do some of the most interesting and impactful work of my career to date, with a degree of autonomy that is unheard of in most organizations. While doing so, I always felt that Roger provided me with the resources and feedback that I needed to be successful. While I no longer work under Roger, I would not hesitate to do so again in the future. I think the same can be said of everyone else on the team that he built at Emburse. To anyone considering working for him, I would, without question, wholeheartedly recommend doing so. You will gain incredible amounts of knowledge and experience, not only about the company and industry you will work in, but also about yourself and your capabilities." and "For four years, I had the pleasure of working for Roger as my direct manager. During that time, he became both a mentor and a friend, concerned not only with my work but with my career growth. He gives me the freedom to be creative about my work, but also gives guidance from his years of experience running a startup. He showcases a deep understanding of whatever field he’s working on and does a great job of enabling his peers with that knowledge. His knowledge in payments and fintech is astounding. As a manager, Roger is direct with his actionable feedback, and it’s given me a chance to improve over the years. This may sound trite, but I’m a better person having worked with Roger. Ps. His show recommendations are fantastic."
