About Robert Grutko

Dynamic, charismatic and driven team leader ready to take your team to the next level of performance, efficiency and success. I have extensive experience directing, organizing and motivating teams toward a common objective. I am confident managing teams of diverse talent: Engineers, Architects, Product Managers and Analysts, both local and overseas. Creating custom built products or integrating several different systems into one cohesive package to meet the business needs within the budget and time allowed. I am comfortable working in the large Fortune 500 companies, and also know how to be part of an entrepreneurial smaller organization that can change priorities and direction on a dime. I will create the team needed for the objective, motivate them towards a shared vision and deliver on time and on budget.My formal education in HR and Organizational Leadership guide my ability to recruit, hire and manage top performing teams. I can help make your dysfunctional team productive, and a productive team become efficient. Formal technical education, complex projects and integrated architectures allow brilliant engineers to shine, but when promoted to a management position the “People Skills” that are needed might not be as honed. I am the mentor who can direct the managers running your team how to keep the engineers on their team engaged and productive.Large projects, large teams, cross-matrix organizations and competing priorities are some of my specialties.Helping other people reach their potential and succeed is what I do.
