Bio
John Stukel
Rob is a clutch player. Having a background as both a senior resource with some of Canada's largest companies and as a successful entrepreneur, his deep bank of experience in strategic planning, product management, technology, agency and media is a rare mix. He surveys complex business challenges from all angles & finds spot-on answers, blending strategic thinking with solid business acumen. Even better, he offers perspective to whatever problem put in front of him, adds the perfect dash of dry humour, and conveys a clear sense of how his recommendations apply to tactics & execution. Rob is an engaged and patient listener, has a strong respect for others' time, and takes an objective stance with his questions, comments and recommendations. Personable, highly professional and a true pleasure to deal with, I recommend, and would work with Rob again anytime, and without hesitation.

Rob's outstanding listening skills combined with his intelligence has no doubt gained the respect of my colleagues as well as myself throughout the years. He's the guy that silences a room full of executives when he speaks. And when it comes to the Marketing world, I'd vote for Rob as my leader.
