He possess expertise in performance management, personnel management, employee relations, succession planning, employee engagement and 35 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I reported to Bob for about a year when I was working in iflix. I learnt a lot from his vast experience as a Global HR practitioner, and thanks to Bob, it was the beginning of my journey towards developing evidence based HR practices, and the wonderful world of HR Tech. I particularly enjoyed candid conversations with Bob as my manager, and he's definitely given me flexibility to exercise my own judgement and operate independently, while becoming a safety net for me to fall back on when I need a sounding board. Despite how senior he is, it's great that Bob has no qualms rolling up his sleeves and getting his hands dirty with the mundane, operational stuff, a trait that is very much cherished in a startup world where resources are a luxury.", "Probably unluckily for him, Bob inherited me when he joined Depa. Known for building high-performing teams, shaping up flagging HR systems, and implementing world-class Talent Management programs, he no doubt wasn't impressed with my less-than-stellar CV. However, he had faith in me and mentored, coached, and developed me like no manager had ever done before or since. He had the patience to pass on his "copious" amounts of Learning and Development, Knowledge Management, and Internal Communications knowledge onto me, allowing me to learn, do, and grow without any form of micro-management. He encouraged our creativity and welcomed new ideas, and he trusted me to be responsible for my own team and initiatives. I know that this makes me sound a little creepy and infatuated, but I'd be lying if I said that whenever I talk about Bob I don't get a bit teary-eyed with nostalgia. He was my mentor, he taught me everything I know, and every job I've had since working for him has been filled with disappointment because I've yet to work for anyone like him again. I have never learned so much as I learned under Bob. He is passionate about everything he does, he is a walking encyclopedia with an insane level of knowledge about anything involving running a business, HRIS, legal, training, recruitment, not to mention the trivial, of course. On top of all that, he's a born leader, he knows how to manage, coach, and develop his teams, and he's well-respected. His ears must burn often, as I know that I for one talk about him constantly in job interviews, at work, with friends. I cannot recommend Bob enough. If I ever had the pleasure of working with him again, or even someone like him, then I would consider myself extremely lucky!", and "I thoroughly enjoyed reporting to Bob in three positions over many years. Bob is a visionary HR Director. He knows what needs doing and is able to inspire his team to get it done. Bob is honest and ethical and can be counted on to deliver in line with the goals and strategy of the organization. I would not hesitate to recommend Bob as a leader in an organization and as a great boss!"
