Rob possesses a unique skill set that is more tailored to being a leader vs a manager which is difficult to find in today's work environment. Rob's leadership style is charismatic, and he creates a coaching/mentor environment that benefits all who work under him, and peers he works with. Rob came into the Climate Solutions business, assessed current state, bench marked it against external best practices in productivity and portfolio/program mgt, identified gaps, and implemented an aggressive continuous improvement plan to improve the overall business significantly. Rob is a highly motivated and productive leader able to quickly and thoroughly gain expertise in any field in the business value chain from Marketing ,engineering through to manufacturing with capability to identify and solve complex problems in creative and logical ways.
