Robert L. LaPerle

It was my greatest honor to work for Bob. From the moment I met him - he was the most inspirational person I ever met. He was a visionary, innovator and leader that changed the course of my life and my leadership style but he was also just an amazing and fun person to be around.

It was such an honor to be part of his small team of incredible people. He led us with humor, guidance, challenging us to reach higher but with unwavering support, and a heavy dose of fun and laughter. He taught me more about vision, innovation, strategy and implementation than anyone I ever met.

Bob was an incredible innovator with a huge vision. He brought people together with diverse viewpoints to create something amazing. He understood how to create a positively charged, learning culture that was irresistibly contagious. I use the lessons I learned from him every day in my own company and I am eternally grateful for the opportunity and honor to have worked for him.
