Bio
Brian Kibby
Deep financial skills are table stakes at the CFO level and Bob has those and then some. Leadership, however, is more rare and that is Bob's greatest strength. Bob's ability to attract top talent and then help them to set their talents free is second-to-none. He is the best CFO with whom I have ever worked.
Yasminka Nemet
If you are looking for a CFO that can't relate to the rest of the organization, or build a world-class team to support the strategy, don't hire Bob. However, if you need a CFO who is strategic, can help interpret client, business and market needs into a tight financial blueprint and assemble an intelligent team to support it, you need to talk to Bob. Hands down the best CFO this CMO has ever had the pleasure of working with. Bob listens, challenges, and deftly leads the organization down the right path.
