Adding to his robust educational background, Rob earned his M.B.A. from the Indiana University Kelley School of Business and a Global Supply Chain Management Certificate from the University of North Carolina's Kenan Flagler School of Business.

Join us as Rob shares his insights on integrating veteran expertise into federal projects, the importance of leadership in both military and civilian spheres, and his vision for the future of SteerBridge.
