About Rob Cassata

At the heart of my wide-ranging experience on the distribution side of the Invesment Mgmt business, I\'m a Sales Director with a proven ability to drive business expansion, develop and innovate territory management and distribution plans, and communicate multiple and complex investment strategies at a highly sophisticated level. As my career in our industry has progressed, my goal has become to connect smart advisors with smart managers through consultative engagements, while offering differentiated value adds and perspective that may play a role in the growth and holistic aspects of an Advisors practice. Plain and simple. The \'Sea of Sameness\' in the fund industry is real, and I aim to help you differentiate, and begin to move away from it. I believe that the trust of your clients is paramount to the success of any business, and the vast number of long-term relationships cultivated in the Investment Management industry over the last 20+ years clearly supports this idea.Throughout my career, I’ve not only demonstrated the ability to maintain the highest level of client service and integrity, but I’ve done so through multiple market cycles, management turnover, and even firm rebranding. This is critical. Additionally, I’ve become accustomed to investment centric cultures, having worked atypically close to Portfolio Managers and analysts, but the ability to sell a strategy is no longer enough. Today\'s industry is more collaborative than ever, and successful firms and their representatives must truly understand how sales, marketing, social media, and national accounts can most effectively support each other, as well as our outside business partners, and most importantly, our clients.An avid traveler, I’ve spent time in over 30 different countries in just the last ten years and enjoy sharing my unique perspective with friends, family, clients, and colleagues. A graduate of Syracuse University and active resident of Palm Beach County, I’ve affected verifiable positive change in both community and corporate culture throughout my career and my life.
