Ready For Next Career Step
To those in a position to lend support on my present job search, please know I am grateful in advance for any kind leads, personal introductions and valuable advice. Having spent the past 14-years as a respected sports technology curator, expert resource and trusted storyteller for the Sports Techie community blog readers and followers located worldwide, I’ve been fortunate enough to have experienced transforming, work-related opportunities enabling me to grow as a person, critical thinker and subject matter expert, especially regarding technologies.
LinkedIn profile Robert Roble: www.linkedin.com/in/robertroble
I’ve written nearly 1,500 blogs on cutting edge topics. In the past year alone, I’ve become a subject matter exert to various degrees with Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, cloud-based solutions, Enterprise, direct-to-consumer, SaaS, OTT, video streaming, broadcasting, Web3, digital media, rights holders, SEO, SMO, augmented reality, virtual reality, quantum computing, cyber security, cryptocurrency, robotics, medical technologies, neurology, nutrition, wellness, sleep, health, fitness, fund raising, crowd sourcing, reporting, ticketing, NIL, licensing, patents, gaming, esports, sports betting, merchandising, women in sport.
For the past two years come August, I’ve been a consultant with Videon, helping to make live video work at scale. Videon replaces encoder real estate and laptops with a first-of-its-kind edge compute environment housed in an array of compact devices and portable form factors — the cornerstone of the LiveEdge® Ecosystem. Deployed in 400+ sports venues, OB vans and production packs, LiveEdge® is processing tens of thousands of hours of real-time data and video, enabling sub-second latency, live advertising, syndication, multiviewers, and betting environments.
I’ve also been a past contributor for Intel, Intel Sports, iQ by Intel Contributor, IBM, IBM Sports and Entertainment, Cisco, Cisco Sports, Cisco Champion Program Member, Panasonic North America, Samsung Business USA, Citi Everystep, Kia Social Club, and Skyword. I was a Panasonic Partner (Sports Tech) at CES, and a Social Influencer for IBM Interconnect, both in Las Vegas. Being selected as an Official Blogger at the Global Sports Forum Barcelona was another lifetime and career highlight.
A few notable former positions include:
- ScoreMore (Fan Engagement), Director of Business Development: http://scoremoremobile.com/
- Assistant Varsity Lacrosse Coach, Dunwoody High School
- Head Lacrosse Coach, Redmond High School
- Wetpaint (Online Communities Wiki), Moderator
- Corporate Development, Entellium (CRM)
I pride myself in doing thorough research while preparing for interviews, sales, demos, or whatever the job entails. Asking founders and CEOs, or heads of sales, marketing and IT, in the moment questions they have never been asked before is a consistent feather in my cap, and I plan to take that same work ethic, preparation, creativity, and quick thinking, to my next career move.
For the past eight years, I’ve been a dedicated Lyft driver having provided more than 8,500 rides with no accidents or tickets while maintain a perfect 5.0 rating. Being a ride-share, gig economy employee has allowed me to control my schedule while raising my special needs child. The discipline it takes to drive consistently and do so safely in one of the worse traffic cities in the United States, speaks volumes to my work ethic, character and charisma as so many of my riders would attest to.
I’m also an autism advocate with an 11-year-old on the spectrum who was diagnosed non-verbal at Marcus Autism Center here in Atlanta. Yet today, he is able to talk, sing and attend public school while knocking down life-changing milestones on a daily basis. It takes an inclusive village to help make this so.
My education includes a B.A. from Whitter College, a liberal arts institution located in Southern California. I also attend Redmond High School in Washington State and grew up literally down the street from Microsoft.
My career and life experiences truly cross five generations, from Baby Boomers to fellow Generation Xers, to tech-centric Gen-Z, and now the Alpha generation of young kids that include two kids I help raise, ages 11 and 6.
I love to network thoughtfully and with purpose as a social media expert, influencer and creator with around 50,000 connections, including 13K LinkedIn contacts and a LinkedIn Group with 5K, another 10K plus followers on both Twitter/X and YouTube, all ready to continue growing and activate in my next work opportunity.
Lead generation, sales demonstrations, and closing deals, with regards to software, hardware, solutions, platforms, products, and new concepts, are where I expect to thrive. A remote or hybrid position in the technology sector, whether in sales, business development, or whatever role comes my way, is where I’ll fit in, get the job done and then some.
Technology is my way. I remain a lifetime learner and truly look forward to learning from younger talent while using my experiences to assist younger generations, as needed . You can expect me to work hard, show up daily, and use my hard-earned experiences for my next employer, as the right fit.
