Testimonials

Bob worked with me after I became President of Reiman Publishing. He was a valued advisor across a wide range of issues, and was particularly helpful on questions of management and organization. My senior management team and I gained a great deal from our relationship. Bob’s insights and advice were always welcome, as were his comfortable style and sense of humor.

Former President

Bob coached me when I made the transition to a new company and position. He really helped me focus on the correct immediate priorities, and pushed me sometimes when I needed it. The process was very successful, and I now feel I am an integral part of my new team. Bob even helped me get my own physical fitness regimen in order!

Bob and I have known each other since our very first days at Time, Inc., and we worked together at both CBS and Reader’s Digest. He is someone whose wisdom and insight I have valued over the course of my own career. His perspectives are broad and his thought process is thorough. He has great business acumen, as well as discretion and maturity.

Bob was Chairman of the Board of BrandDirect Marketing when I was president. We went through a period of severe duress, which put a lot of strain on the management team and me. Bob’s wisdom, insight, and poise in the midst of crisis were truly invaluable. He was a trusted mentor to all of us.
