Bob has strong leadership experience in the management of his IR teams, in coaching executives with regard to their interaction with investors, chairing the Board of his professional association and decades of mentoring colleagues seeking guidance in the IR profession.

Bob will report directly to Stephen G. Roman, President and CEO of Global Atomic. “As we complete the Dasa Project Feasibility Study, Bob will help us bring our investment proposition to the attention of investors,” said Mr. Roman. “Bob is an excellent communicator who will help us maintain and expand relationships with investment research analysts, our existing shareholders and new investors.”
