Rob is a strategic, analytically driven human‑capital advisor and actuarial executive who helps organizations solve complex workforce challenges with clarity, discipline, and financial rigor. As Founder and Managing Principal of RBC Human Capital Group, he blends actuarial science, enterprise risk management, and modern Total Rewards strategy to build people systems that accelerate performance, strengthen retention, and protect long‑term enterprise value. With deep expertise across compensation and benefits strategy, equity program design, health and retirement plans, and global people‑systems transformation, Rob advises CEOs, Boards, CHROs, and business owners on how to align workforce investments with business strategy. His background as a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries and CFA Charterholder shapes a distinctive approach, one that integrates financial modeling, risk analysis, and operational execution to deliver solutions that are both strategically sound and immediately actionable. Rob’s advisory work spans global rewards architecture, benefits and retirement strategy (including cash balance plan design for closely held businesses), enterprise people‑risk governance, HR M&A, and HRIS/people‑operations optimization. Across multinationals, PE‑backed platforms, and high‑growth companies, he is known for transforming complexity into practical, scalable frameworks that elevate organizational performance and resilience. Rob brings a founder’s mindset, an operator’s discipline, and an actuary’s precision, helping organizations make smarter, data‑driven decisions about people, performance, and risk.
