Rob’s career has exposed him to a wide array of “battle-tested” crisis management experiences such as barricaded hostage situations, terrorist attacks (Ottawa 2014), high-risk executive protection (Somalia), major cyber attacks (Mafiaboy 2000), warzone digital forensics (Afghanistan), civil unrest, labour disputes, high-risk asset transport, and multiple hurricane responses.
He is currently the owner and founder of RCAS, a crisis leadership consultancy. Rob also serves as the Canadian Chapter Chairman of the Institute of Strategic Risk Management (ISRM) and was named an ISRM Fellow in 2024. He is a registered speaker with the London Speakers Bureau and has supported global events including multiple ASIS conferences in Canada, the U.S., and Argentina, several Mastercard Digital Safari events, the World Gaming Protection Conference, and the Gaming Security Professionals of Canada Annual General Meeting.
