Bob has 35 years of experience founding, directing and consulting to provide socially conscious leadership for organizations in both the for profit and nonprofit sectors here and around the world. In 2001 he began TACS' Executive Transition Services program, focusing on issues of leadership transition, interim leadership, executive searches and succession planning.

His personal mission statement is:

• Be loose and have fun
• Listen deeply
• Be supportive and give generously to others
• Model calm and sustainable leadership

A large focus of his work is in the area of building skills of boards and executive leadership to work effectively together.

"I've been around a number of searches in non-profits, and this has been a great experience. You have made this so much better for us than I would have thought possible. "

"When we thought that all was lost, Bob's sense of calm leadership and his knowledge of organizational structure brought us back from the brink and helped us continue."

"Making changes in an organization is hard work. Bob helped us to see the challenge and delight of learning and growing from doing that work"
