Working with Rob for over six years, he always brought a perspective to the table that considered how his team’s work fit into a larger whole within MongoDB’s product ecosystem, while also supporting the organization internally in adopting that work. The overlap of his vision and focus on business impact, while being able to zoom in on the details at the right times, is a rare combination that I was lucky to have on my team.

Rob had a huge impact on my career. He encouraged me to think in systems and supported me through my early growth in design systems. His energy and passion for design comes through in everything he does, and he genuinely cares about the work and the product. Any team would be fortunate to have him as a leader!
