Hi, I’m Bob

I help leadership teams navigate complexity, move through chaos, and build systems that work.

For over two decades, I’ve worked inside some of the world’s most respected companies — and some of the messiest — during moments of growth, crisis, and reinvention. My role is to bring calm discernment, systemic clarity, and forward motion when the stakes are high and the path isn’t obvious.

I’ve rebuilt newsrooms, redesigned executive compensation systems, and helped fractured teams reconnect and realign. I’ve also made some bad calls — including joining what turned out to be a cult-like org, led by someone now in federal custody. That experience sharpened my discernment and deepened my commitment to ethical leadership.

I’m not a hype consultant or a by-the-book operator. I work with a small number of clients at a time — usually as a Fractional COO or strategic partner — to align purpose, people, and performance without losing what makes it meaningful.

Here’s what I bring:

• Systems thinking with real-world traction

• Clarity under pressure

• A calm presence that helps teams breathe

My background spans product, operations, culture, and change. I hold an MBA in Sustainable Management and a BA in Philosophy, but most of my learning has come from doing — building, leading, failing, and figuring it out on the ground.

I live in Brooklyn with my wife, author and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Alex Jamieson, our son Laken, and two cats.

I believe the real work is helping humans work better together.
