Rob has spent the past 30 years building and leading companies and developing leaders through inviting change, making critical choices, and achieving results. He has been an entrepreneur in a family business, managed in a public company, and led privately held companies.
Rob was President of Louisville Bedding Canada, a manufacturer of bedding products such as pillows, comforters, and mattress pads, selling to big box retail stores such as Walmart, Costco, and Sears, from 2001-2010. This $40m company consistently delivered a customer experience that was rewarded with double digit sales growth, and a very strong ebitda.
In 2011, Rob was named COO of the parent company, a $180m company located in Louisville Kentucky. With manufacturing in Ontario California, as well as 3 factories in Kentucky and 1 more in Montreal Canada, Rob oversaw a reorganization, and eventual sale of the parent company in 2013.
In 2013, Rob became COO of Standard products, a lighting manufacturer. The industry was going through unprecedented change due to the commercialization of LED lighting, and Rob helped position the company to adapt to new expectations in service, supply, and people management.
In 2017, Rob was recruited to join Medicom, a manufacturing leader in the medical device sector in North America, as their President. As a global supplier of masks, gloves and gowns, Rob introduced a more collaborative culture, which focused on alignment of strategy to execution.
In 2019, Rob founded Rudy Advisory, dedicated to working with entrepreneurs and their leadership teams by crafting actionable strategies, nurturing leaders through continuous learning, and fostering adaptable business cultures for sustainable growth.
Rob focuses on what’s most important; “How to engage and empower people to achieve company goals while exceeding client expectations.” Doing so, Rob believes, allows companies to exceed their goals by taking smart and healthy steps to achieve great success.
