“Rob was fundamental to the formation of inaugural ERGs at AMC Networks. When a scrappy group of volunteers showed up at his office to start something new, he opened all of the doors that enabled us to form nine Employee Resource Groups. He was with us through each step, while granting us empowered autonomy, and was our sponsor throughout. I was immediately struck by how accessible and kind he was. He was generous with his time, open to learning, and a true champion for those of us coming to him with new ideas. His people-first ethic shines through in everything he does and it was especially clear in the more challenging moments. His intelligence and openness makes him a leader who enables and fosters innovation - key to unlocking future success. ”
