Bob has worn many hats during his 35-year career, half of which was with Goldman Sachs.  He has served as CEO of Sports Network, YES, board director of multiple public and private entities, in addition to being an entrepreneur.  He has led startups, developed large scale multi-billion-dollar projects, engineered dozens of acquisitions, and successfully steered turnaround situations.

Bob’s seasoned operational expertise combined with a sharp focus on organizational composition and empowerment have been the key elements to his many successes.  Bob has worked on numerous projects for his home state of Indiana. These assignments have ranged from privatizations of certain state assets to coaching officials in best management practices. He is currently advising the Indiana State Police in the construction and implementation of an enduring strategy to modernize the agency aligning policies and procedures to a demonstrably evolving population, whose demographics and lifestyle are unlike previous generations.

Bob began his career with a venture capital firm (Whitney and Associates), followed by a management position with Time Incorporated (Time Warner).  He went on to found a cable television company which acquired, developed and consolidated operations of some 60 cable television systems, financed through a series of limited partnerships.

Bob spent a decade in Europe where he led the development of a multi-billion-dollar broadband fiber optic telecommunications network.

Upon returning to the US, he was tasked with a billion-dollar distressed telecommunications company with microwave facilities in 18 central and South American countries. The successful turnaround resulted in perhaps the largest managed services datacenter operations in South America.

Just prior to co-founding Acropolis, Bob was helping young entrepreneurs, working on various government projects and managing his family office.
