Background

About Robert Tennent

I am a seasoned Program Manager with 15+ years of experience leading complex, global product development programs that generate over $100M in annual revenue. Throughout my career at Callaway Golf, I have directed multi-category portfolios spanning woods, irons, putters, and soft goods, ensuring programs align with strategic goals while navigating the challenges of global supply chains, shifting tariffs, transportation hurdles, and rising labor costs. My career has taken me across Asia, where I worked directly with factories and suppliers to strengthen sourcing, improve development processes, and ensure quality delivery. This hands-on global experience gives me a deep understanding of how to bridge cross-cultural teams and turn strategy into execution. Earlier in my career, I practiced civil litigation after earning my J.D. from the University of San Diego School of Law. That foundation sharpened my skills in risk management, negotiation, and compliance — all of which I leverage today to anticipate challenges, mitigate risks, and deliver sustainable program results. I am passionate about building collaborative teams, aligning projects with long-term business goals, and turning complexity into clarity. Whether navigating international sourcing or leading cross-functional initiatives, my focus is always on driving measurable business impact.
