How Robert is building a better working world
"My proudest professional moments have been when my clients have been promoted due to the work we’ve done together when I was their advisor. The ability to develop both EY people and client teams is central to leading EY clients to achieve more. This is increasingly more important with the changing nature of work and the rise of technology as a catalyst for change."
