Business

Current leadership and businesses built.

A body of work across financial services, international BPO, event entertainment and hospitality — each one built the same way: identify the opportunity, build the model, assemble the right people, create the systems and execute.

Niagara Strategy Group

Experience earned by operating. Applied to what comes next.

After decades spent building companies, leading teams and solving operational problems from inside the business, Rob founded Niagara Strategy Group to bring that experience to other owners and organizations.

NSG works alongside leadership teams on strategy, operations, organizational structure, growth and execution — bringing an operator's perspective to challenges that rarely get solved by recommendations alone.
