He was formerly a partner and board member at Deloitte (the Netherlands), and a board member and executive consultant of several international organizations. His name is on two internet technology patents. From 1990 onwards he became increasingly interested in psychology and philosophy, fields in which he is largely self-taught - an 'auto-didact'.

He has written four books in the Dutch language about the 'quality of life and leadership', and developed a series of programs, services and courses in these fields. In 2006 Robert and his wife Anke moved from the Netherlands to Canada. '4000 Weeks' is his first book in English.
