People-First HR Director

One of the most personable and helpful HR Directors I ever met. He even helped me find a place to live when I moved to Massachusetts and even used his personal time to drive me and always followed up to see how I was doing. Never too busy not to say hi or stop and check on me. Such a professional at his job. Thank you Robert!

HR Innovator & People Champion

I worked with Robert for approximately 2 1/2 years. He started with a non-functional HR department– and turned it around to a well operating department. Robert was outstanding in his ability to train his staff, work to promote his staff, as well as to recognize his staff. Robert was always approachable–and discharged his duties as required–without ever giving a regard to the clock. Robert rolled out a new HR platform– Something that we had never had before– which was accepted by many– and rejected by a few. It proved to be an easily usable and functional software package. Something that we will embrace for a long time. I wish him well in his future endeavors.

A Standout Student

I meet Robert as one of my students at the Inter American University of Puerto Rico. His leadership, dynamism , enthusiasm, disposition and willingness to learn were more than obvious. Always full of energy and open to explore new ways of doing things ranked him as one of the best students I have had during my tenure at the class room. His ability to communicate effectively and his many skills to deliver an effective message definitely position Robert as a great asset in today’s professional arena. The broad understanding of a global world integrated to a very well and rounded education put him in the top of the list when looking for well-educated and talented individuals to be part of your organization. No doubt that if it will be under my control or consideration and knowing all his attributes he would be a player on my team. For those reasons and for many others not included in such a small space I recommend Robert as outstanding choice to be considered whenever you are looking for a new member in your group.
