About Robert Hunter

From his start at The Cornell Hotel School, Robert has utilized his training in comprehensive business management and customer service to aide Harvard Business School and Columbia University in the areas of finance, analysis, IT, HR, & operations.Almost 20 years ago, after having started a Y2K company as a college student, Robert Hunter began his career in Information Technology as an Oracle DBA for INSTALLS inc. Yet wanting to further his education with a Masters from Harvard, he applied to work at Harvard Business School. During Robert’s time at Harvard Business School, he was recruited out of IT, where he was a DBA, to work for his ‘customer’ in the Development Office as Associate Director of Data and Technology Management.From there, in order to delve even deeper into the technology, business intelligence, and overall business processes improvement/implementation, he became a Senior Consultant at Performance Architects. While working with various Oracle products, he was accepted to present at several Oracle conferences.Robert was then recruited, by a former colleague, to work for Columbia University Medical Center. After less than two years there, he was promoted from the Executive Director to the AVP of Finance and Operations.Yet, with the diversity of management and technical skills Robert enjoys utilizing, one of the most personally rewarding aspects is building a legacy through helping those he works with further and maximize their own skill sets to the mutual benefit of the individual and the organization. Throughout his career, Robert Hunter has appreciated the uncommon pleasure of truly enjoying what he does.
