Testimonial
“I’ve known and worked with Robert for several years, first as a volunteer at CFA Society Toronto and later in my role as CEO. Robert is a strategic and clear thinker and is very focused on achieving outcomes on the issues that matter most. He has a “listen-first” mentality and seeks to build consensus among all stakeholders while ensuring that decisions get made effectively and in a timely manner. CFA Society Toronto could not have achieved its successes without his contributions, wise counsel and unwavering support.” ⎻ Frederick Pinto, CEO CFA Society Toronto.
