Colleagues describe her as "I had the pleasure of working with Robin Thomas during my time at Roche Molecular Diagnostics and I could not have asked for a better manager. I reported to Robin in my capacity as Marketing Associate as a part of the NAP/qPCR International Business Team. He has great vision for his portfolio of products, immense knowledge about the diagnostics market and an even greater desire to share it. Robin is a natural at mentoring. He is patient in his approach and always welcomes diverse perspectives. He encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and provided guidance every step of the way. He gave me space to function in a manner best suited to me, but was always available and approachable if I needed guidance. While at Roche, Robin helped me get noticed by other team members by making sure my efforts did not go unnoticed and giving me credit when due. His positive attitude is contagious, and working with him is a pleasure. He communicates his goals clearly, fosters respectful environment and gives constructive feedback that helps the team move forward in the best possible manner. His decision making skills and ability to the get the most out of his colleagues and subordinates makes him a great leader.", "I had the pleasure to know Robin when I was doing my PhD in Proteomics at the department of molecular and cell biology of the UCT (2005-2009) with Prof. Rafudeen, and I would like to say some words about Robin. Robin is highly qualified and competent officer. He has superb social and human qualities, I remember when he usually used to come to UCT to present and clearly explained his company’s products and his work, he chatted with every one in the lab and becomes a friend for all of us. For sure Robin is assets for any company he works for. I sincerely wish Robin all the very best. Kamal Abdalla, PhD", and "I worked with Robin between June 2009 and late 2010 in the Cape Town Office of Roche Diagnostics, within the Molecular Diagnostics Division. I worked in a sales and marketing capacity while he provided the technical support to our customers for Roche's wide range of diagnostics and life science products. As such, I worked very closely with Robin during this time and got to know him well. Quite simply, Robin was one of the most competent and efficient persons with whom I’ve ever had the pleasure of working. He has a formidable intellect, a massive work ethic, and is capable of effectively completing any task which he sets his mind to. He is one of those rare people who have a blend of both top-notch technical skills and knowledge together with interpersonal and soft skills (as well as strong business and strategic acumen). He is supremely competent at what he does, is able to consistently deliver results above and beyond what is required of him, and has an extremely rare quality in that he is utterly reliable, without fail. Beyond these impressive hard and soft skills, it was a genuine pleasure working with him. Myself and my colleagues at Roche, as well as our customers, always responded well to his warm and endearing nature, and excellent sense of humor. It was a rare pleasure to have worked with someone of his capabilities and caliber. I have no doubt that he will add massive value to any organization or team with which he is involved, and I would unreservedly recommend him for any position for which he is qualified."
