Bio
Ben O.
I have had the pleasure of working for Rob for the majority of the 9 years I was at Auto Trader. In that time I was fortunate enough to learn a great deal from him, Rob is a decisive individual who understands the people he works with, which in turn means that he consistently gets the very best from them. Rob truly gets the 'digital world' and the hugely successful, but complex and sometimes painful, transition from a print business to a digital one is testament to that. His ability to shape a strategy and deliver from concept through to completion is brilliant, he has the skills to cut through all the noise in any situation and bring clarity to the solution. I could never say Rob is scared of rolling his sleeves up and getting in to the detail either! Alongside all of this Rob is great fun to work with, making my time at Auto Trader a better one - if I had the chance to work with Rob again in the future it would be an easy decision to say yes!

In the period that Rob and I worked together I found him to be an excellent communicator - always available to assist and support in a number of ways - his positive/hands on approach to the project was really inspiring. He is a great leader that always remembers to thank his team for their contribution - and who manages to really get the best out of everyone - even when the tasks are challenging.
