Bio
Victoria Imogen Patterson
Rob has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Rob took on quite a complex project here at Telefonica, with a variety of different stakeholders to coordinate. Rob made sure he was always visible to the team and remained a helping hand throughout. Its really nice to see a technical architect that has the ability to interact with not only the technical teams, but the business as well - its not often you see someone who can bridge that gap. Thanks for all your support Rob!
Ian Ravenscroft
I needed someone with deep knowledge and understanding of Technology to bring together a disparate technical community across 5 continents to produce a unified view of how Mobile Financial Services solutions could be developed. Rob's performance in this role was nothing short of superb, his deep experience, critical thinking and the patience of a saint are but a few of his many strengths that I value and I would certainly want to work with Rob again,
