Strategic financial experience
With over 17 years of senior financial leadership in companies ranging from 50 – 250 employees various industries, Rob has successfully guided businesses to achieve their goals.
He has a proven track record of turning financial challenges into opportunities.
Rob’s expertise also spans roles over a 23-year period, as President, CEO Controller and CFO, including founding two companies. One of those was a successful winery in the Okanagan.
Under his leadership, sales grew to 30,000 cases, achieving a $31 million valuation and ranking among the top 10 independent wineries in BC—all within seven years.
This was achieved while also attaining an improvement in margins from 44% to 58% and increasing sales from $3 million to $6 million.

His deep knowledge in finance, management, and business development allows me to help businesses scale, grow, and enhance their valuation.
