About
Hi, I am Robin. As an independent consultant with over ten years of search experience, I collaborate with firms, start-ups and brands of all sizes.
My professional experience includes working within an FTSE 250 PLC, boutique firms, and in-house with a global industry conglomerate. Earlier in my career, I served in the British Army, which took me on training and deployments across Canada, Europe, and the Middle East. In addition, I am also pursuing my lifelong passion of studying law and am currently in my second year of undergraduate study, doing a Bachelor of Laws in London.
Outside work, I enjoy endurance sports and trail running.
“Less is more.”
— Mies van der Rohe
I founded Trieste to assist an exclusive list of clients who seek accurate, deep, and insightful information for making critical business decisions.
Trieste is a Swiss-designed, Italian-built deep-diving research bathyscaphe. In 1960, this vessel made history by descending to the Challenger Deep, more than 10,916 meters (35,813 feet) below the ocean’s surface.
The name acts as a tribute to this amazing feat and an inspiration the values to which I hold myself accountable.

Approach
My approach to each project is methodical and rigorous with a high attention to detail.
I gather data from multiple sources, conduct a thorough analysis, and present my findings in a digital dashboard and report format so my clients can make their business decisions with confidence.
I enhance my research and analysis by leveraging technology to the maximum. Embedding Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning within the process allows me to deliver results with speed and accuracy.
