Rob spent the first part of his career as a leader in the global automotive industry. In the mid to late 1990’s, all motor manufacturers wanted to emulate ‘The Toyota Way’ – a groundbreaking approach to work which not only tried to eliminate waste and focus on small, incremental changes (versus the ‘tear it all up and start again from scratch’ approach) but also the mindset that people should be trusted and that those on the ground often new best how to perform a task and should be supported in doing so.

These approaches weren’t just for building cars, and Rob’s early consulting career started in 2003 when he founded a small tech consulting firm and helped hundreds of small businesses to streamline their processes and systems, build great relationships with their customers, measure what really matters (and improve it) but, and most importantly, help the people involved in those organizations to become the very best they could be. Personal development and growth are so important to Rob and even though it’s easy to focus on the company, the journey of each person within that is what really makes the difference.

2011 saw Rob take these approaches into the world of Global Banking, and since then he has helped many thousands of people adopt new ways of working, build high performing teams and learn to become truly outstanding leaders.

In creating ClarusBlue alongside Will, Rob aims to do achieve two key things. Firstly, to bring world-class leadership techniques and practices to smaller businesses, making these simple, accessible and relevant. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly - on an individual level, making that personal journey for each of us as good as it can be.
