Your Facilitator

Rob Evans

Highly Experienced International Business Executive

Real World Operational Focus

Rob's content, insights and methodologies encapsulate the lessons of over three decades of international business experience and related research, observation and reflection.

In a rich and varied international business career Rob has been:

Operationally engaged with over 150 businesses around the world
Closely involved in over 50 actual or potential acquisition transactions
A part of a senior management team that grew a South African domestic business into a dual listed technology group employing over 8,500 people and operating in over 80 countries
Nominated for the South Africa CFO Of The Year Award when serving as Chief Financial Officer of a $6.5 Bn turnover group

'When I needed career advice at a major career junction, I turned to Rob for help and he quickly jumped on a call with me despite the time zone difference.

I left that call with clarity and focus.

I left that call feeling empowered, supported and super-sensible!

I left that call knowing that I just needed to make my plan and execute it.

This is how Rob helped me get to this point:

-- Firstly, Rob effortlessly sets you at ease. Simply put, he's genuinely a nice guy, and you're going to feel that humility, energy, and warmth permeating every part of the consulting call with this corporate heavyweight as he makes an authentic and kind human connection with you.

-- Secondly, he's going to ask you relevant straightforward questions about the situation that will help him draw a picture of what's happening in your career or organization, and help you be clear on what's happening in your head.

-- Thirdly, expect valuable insights as your mind opens up to opportunities where you had only seen obstacles before, and finally expect him to point you to practical, actionable next steps to move you forward.

It's all substance and no fluff drawn from his extensive and multifaceted career in the corporate world.

What amazes me about Rob is:

-- the ease with which he analyses the situation

-- the accessibility and creativity of the ideas he shares

-- the practical nature of the solutions he puts on the table

This consultancy call was time well spent. As we say in Jamaica "Big up yuhself- Rob!!!" ( To "big up" someone is to praise or recommend somebody strongly.)

- Yvonne Chin Irving, Executive Director & Communication Consultant at CET

'I had the pleasure of working with Rob Evans whilst at Logicalis and I can't speak more highly about him. Not only is Rob incredibly insightful and knowledgeable, he is a genuine person and great fun to be around. Love his stuff.'

'Rob has very strong strategic and operational credentials having worked extensively around the world and held a wide range of financial, operational and M&A roles'
