career experience includes identifying the fundamental changes
needed to position a company to effectively manage risks, increase

established, his business, known as the Sterling Group, is recognized
as one of the most successful and innovative groups in the paper
industry to date. His forward thinking, change agent approach
to strategic positioning in supply chain management is the hallmark
of his 26-year career. In fact, Rob is the only three-time winner

change in the industry.
It is this business acumen that Rob applies to assisting ISS—challenging
the way the company assesses risks and security from a business
perspective to ensure the company provides clients with cost-effective,
viable solutions that are solid, sustainable business decisions.
