Rob spent the majority of his working career in Investment Banking, however, since leaving the banking world in early 2017, Rob can be found discovering his entrepreneurial side in the digital communications and data sectors.
Rob will continually remind those who engage with him that he is African and proudly so!! The economic, social and political challenges facing Africa demand our attention, proactive thought and constructive action to make a difference and are concerns Rob and his family feel very passionate about. Taking on and completing the enormous challenge of RAAM in 2016 was a “no-brainer” for the cyclist in him, however, that race and, in his own words, “all that comes with it… the extreme training; the even tougher reality of the physical event; the mental strength required to cycle through all weathers, aches and pains, sleep deprivation; the camaraderie and friendships that emerge from working with a fantastically supportive team and of course ultimately, the whole reason for our endeavour… the cause… raising funds that were able to contribute to the building of a tangible and invaluable school for the deaf in Rwanda…” has opened his eyes as to what is possible if you are happy to suffer for a cause that you believe in and that ultimately changes lives for the good!
Notwithstanding the physical and mental challenges that come with crossing Australia on a bike in just one week, it’s the cause and the benefits that come from the associated fundraising that drive Rob to succeed. He feels extremely privileged to be a part of Team Abana, is looking forward to the value that undertaking a challenge such as RAAS can add to C4C and wishes to thank his friends and colleagues in advance for, once again, helping raise money and awareness for this great cause.
