Colleagues describe him as "I would recommend Robert as a leader to any Procurement organization desiring improved business partner relationships and performance. Robert worked for me when I led Gilead Science's Strategic Sourcing function. He first turned around an ineffective and tumultuous Travel program by consolidating globally, improving supplier contracts and then streamlining processes to be less onerous for the Gilead employees. Robert then was successful cultivating business partner relationships and engaging spend in Advertising, Media & Market Research, where we had limited success in the past. By year two Robert was engaging the top spend areas, considered a huge win for the organization." and "I worked with Robert over the past two years on the launch of Gocovri and learned a lot from him through that experience. Robert was always strategic, had a clear process and was focused on delivering value to the business and the brand. He is one of the best sourcing business partners I have had the pleasure to work with and would highly recommend him. I hope to have the opportunity to work with Robert again in the future."
