Colleagues describe him as "Robert is a true professional at whatever his job responsibilities are at the time. He is an excellent communicator and was always willing to engage or give of his time if there was a potential benefit to the project. Fair, honest and task oriented." and "Bob and I worked along side one another at US Surgical during the laparoscopic revolution of the 1990's. Bob proved his mettle back then as a hard working engineer with the tenacity and fortitude to excel in a high stress, rapid product development team. We were launching so many new products back then, that we all joked that USSC years were like 'dog years', but the fact is that we learned a lot about medical device product development during that time and it would pay dividends in both of our careers in the following decades. I left in 1999 for the west coast and Bob persevered under the Tyco Healthcare regime to eventually emerge in a leadership role in Covidien, which renewed it's commitment to R&D. The department flourished under Bob's guidance. He had the respect of his group as someone who provided focused leadership, treated them fairly and had a proven track record of success doing what they were once again being asked to do. To have a guy with Bob's experience & abilities available for hire as a consultant, is a great opportunity for any number of potential suitors. I'd recommend him for opportunities ranging from project engineering/team leader/technical advisor all the way to organizational technical leadership and everything in between. His personal and professional experience in the medical device development arena uniquely qualify him to contribute on practically every level including concept development, design, business plan development, manufacturing processes, assembly, quality, regulatory, IP, clinical applications, marketing, budgeting, & technical organizational development. Along with the success Bob has had in his career, it should also be noted that he is a genuinely likeable guy who values not only hard work, but even more so his family, friends and colleagues."

Listed skills include Medical Devices, R&D, Product Development, Iso 13485, and 27 others.
