Colleagues describe him as "I encountered Roger early on when we were just a fledgling network. Unlike many of his peers, he immediately understood the opportunity, but articulately laid out the steps we needed to work out, to achieve our goals. Looking back, those concise words of encouragement and direction were invaluable to what we eventually accomplished. And true to his words, he was our strongest champion when it really mattered. Roger is in my eyes a true visionary -- a leader with intelligence, insight and integrity.", "I had the good fortune of working for Roger at ZATSO. His incredible enthusiasm, intelligence, and vision for what the Internet would become was infectious. Long before broadband was sufficiently rolled out to the home, Roger assembled a business plan, funding, and a team of both Television and Internet professionals to build the "world's first personalized internet delivered video newscast". Alas, it was during Web 1.0 and we were a little ahead of our time. In the two years we worked together, I learned more from Roger than any other. I have had many wonderful colleagues in my career...but Roger's wonderful sense of drive, tireless energetic approach, and overall vision of the "future" was the best. Work for him if you can...you won't be sorry! I know I am not...", and "The first time I met Roger, I was impressed by his incredible enthusiasm, passion and energy. These traits, coupled with his personable demeanor, helped sustain me and many others on his management team while dealing with complex, difficult challenges during the TWC/Adelphia/Comcast integration.
Roger has a real drive to effect change by creating a winning, strategic game plan and emphasizing flawless execution. In our working relationship, Roger carefully balanced the executive role of giving strong direction with the management talent of empowering me and my team to take ownership of the game plan and results.
And Roger's one of the most intelligent people I've come across in my professional career, demonstrating an amazing ability to understand important (but technical) aspects of all the functional areas he led - including engineering, finance, marketing, programming, etc."
