In her corporate roles, Robin focuses on long-term business strategy, cross-functional strategic integration, and corporate brand and communications management. Robin is called upon to help launch businesses and their brands. This was the beginning of support for SUMMi7 and then it grew from branding to business programming to a team launch of the Business Scaling Method.
