Robert give his team full responsibility and coach in a simple and unpretentious manner along the road. I have had the privilege working together with Robert during 2 years time and place great value to his open personality, his eye for details and not least his ability to see people's potential regardless of their background or origin. I can highly recommend Robert!

I had Robert in my management team at Ellos from 2009 till 2012. I appreciated him a lot for his creative and management skills and his strong commitment to manage the change inside Ellos, especially in reviewing with a strong vision the offer organization. With his deep knowledge of fashion, design and collection development, he did a great work in reshuffling work processes, in defining the USP of Ellos. He has always been challenging the teams in thinking out of the box to revitalize the brand. Robert has energy, is entrepreneurial and can interact with people from different horizons as a true international profile. I enjoyed very much working with him, professionally and humanly speaking. I highly recommend him.
