As Executive Vice President of Global Partner Alliances, Bob works collaboratively with WWT's industry-leading partner ecosystem to accelerate the deployment of innovative technology solutions that drive tangible business outcomes and better position WWT's client organizations to tackle future challenges.  

Bob's team is responsible for WWT's effort to establish world-class partnerships with many of the world's leading technology manufacturers — from Silicon Valley heavyweights to emerging tech players — to foster mutual growth and profitability. His depth and breadth of expertise in this area have given him and his team an unparalleled understanding of the technology landscape and where it is going in the near- and long-term. 

A techie at heart who cherishes hands-on experience, Bob's passion for learning helped spur a career that has made a positive impact across WWT's entire business. Prior responsibilities include serving as CTO of WWT subsidiary TBX, leading WWT's business development team and driving marketing strategy, along with other sales management and M&A posts. 

Bob was influential in establishing the Advanced Technology Center (ATC), a digital ecosystem that provides clients and partners alike one-of-a-kind access to technology infrastructure and solutions and today represents more than $1 billion in investment from WWT and its partners.  

Bob's dedication to WWT's core values and culture is matched by an intense passion for serving others, with a particular focus on ending homelessness in the St. Louis area. Bob served for nearly a decade as Board member and two years as board chair for the St. Patrick Center, the largest private homeless services organization in St. Louis. He was awarded the prestigious Leo Paradis Volunteer Champion — an award the late executive director of the organization whose vision of creating a one-stop caring center for essential homeless services helped make St. Patrick Center what it is today. 

Today, Bob serves on the board of House Everyone STL, a non-profit agency created to provide a data-driven approach to serving the unhoused and coordinating a cohesive, collaborative system to give people home with the supportive services needed for success. 

Bob also holds partner advisory board seats at major technology firms including Intel, Dell Technologies, NetApp, Juniper, HPE and others. He also represents WWT's corporate investment team and serves as an advisor for SixThirty, a venture capital firm based in St. Louis. 

He lives with his wife (Sharon) in the St. Louis Central West End and is a proud father of two (Jake and Anna).
