“I have known Ross for many years. We first met as co-directors of the Board of the American Chamber of Commerce in South Africa where Ross was a valued Board member and contributed greatly to the vision and work of the Chamber. Ross left the Chamber after he parted ways with Nike, but we remained friends. Ross then joined Goodyear, a client of my law firm and our friendship and professional relationship continued. The area that we have worked closely together is in the field of Board Governance primarily aligning to integrity, respect, trust, ethics and the importance of being a conscious leader. In all of my dealings with Ross I have found him to be a man of integrity and vision and a conscious and ethical leader.”

Ross is an sensible leader, he literally walks an extraordinary mile to develop not only his direct reports, but everyone whom he works with, whether an employee or customer. Every opportunity spent at work under his leadership is filled with wealth of knowledge. His teachings have a positive lasting effect. He is not just one of the best leaders in finance but a to-go-to leader in almost every aspect of life, who is always ready to listen and give honest critical advice and guidance. To date I have held various employment opportunities from junior to senior positions of which I am forever grateful for his guidance in my early career. Thank you

I have had the privilege of working under Ross’s mentorship since 2018. I have experienced 1st hand his incredible ability to strategically think and lead. As a mentor, Ross has always tried to help me become a better version of myself, his mentorship has been instrumental to both my personal and professional development.
