Background

About Robert Simmons

Ever since I can remember I have loved to build things. I purchased my first car, a 1970 GTO, at 14 and rebuilt the engine and added a “his & her” transmission. This was probably the impetus behind starting my career as an engineer. I have worn many hats throughout my career – programmer, operation researcher, product designer, data analysis engineer and business consultant. This has enabled me to develop multi-faceted solutions using diverse concepts while managing multi-disciplinary projects. Everybody sees the world through their own experiences; I see the world as an opportunity to build better organizations aligning people, process and technology with strategy- I love leading development of solutions to business needs- I care who gets the credit, the team gets the credit- If I can’t measure it, I can’t align, manage or improve it; I can measure anything- I develop new methodologies to solve business problems, and I execute them. I enjoy fostering relationships with clients, co-workers, industry experts or just to hear new experiences. If you are interested and would like a sounding board or discuss new ideas, just reach out!
