What They Say About Robert's...

LEADERSHIP

SALLY-JANE RENOLDS,
CEO, Jones Technologies, former CFO Touch Technologies
During his tenure as CEO at Touch Technologies, Robert was instrumental in my securing promotion from Finance Director to CFO. Robert is very calm under pressure. and his (coaching) leadership style is second to none. Robert was very inspiring, focused and inclusive - not only did he lead from the front during challenging times, but he was always happy for the team to take the applause during growth and success at Touch Technologies. I would describe Robert as a charismatic & engaging leader who inspires his teams. He is a visionary with the uncanny ability to open business channels which previously had been closed. Robert's leadership is built on trust, built over many years through: reliability, credibility, consistency and connection.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Dr JEFF JONES, former Chairman & CEO Teler Motors, Detroit, USA
Robert is a very charismatic & disciplined leader. He is very curious about a lot of things, very inspiring and someone who is not afraid to take on challenges. As a disciplined marathon runner, Robert does not give up easily and has instilled this self belief within Spacetech Electronics (STe). I was an Advisor to Robert during STe's takeover of Earthware Tech and Robert remained calm and focused throughout despite the impact that the pandemic was having on this deal. Robert will never accept the idea that he cannot succeed if he puts his mind to it…that’s a character trait that I admire in Robert in addition to: his dedication, his curiosity, his persistence, his industriousness and his integrity.

CSR/CHARITY WORK

MARY KRUGER,
Director, International Tech Academy
I first met Robert when he visited our academy and gave a speech to our students about tech and AI. To our surprise, Robert arrived with 3 other colleagues, two of whom were women in senior positions at SunTech technologies. Robert and his team inspired our students by showcasing all the ways in which, technology is playing a big part in changing the world as we know it. From autonomous self driving cars to robots performing surgery and even how sports stars use data and tech to improve their performance. Like many schools, we struggle to afford the latest tech equipment and Robert introduced us to his CTO, Harry, who regularly donates computers to us whenever they have upgrades.
