Proggio’s Employee Spotlight: Rob
Let’s get to know Proggio’s Philly-based Salesuperstar – Rob Rowe!
A little bit about Rob:
I grew up an only child in a small town in PA, raised by a rockstar of a mother! Unbeknownst to me, the work ethic exemplified by my mother would serve as the foundation of who I was as an individual and a professional. I apply this “need to succeed” mentality to every obstacle I face. From my competitive bodybuilding aspirations earlier in life, to my current career in software sales, this skill is invaluable! During my time away from work I enjoy seeing all the world has to offer – live music, golfing, summers at the Jersey Shore, and building a memorable life with my girlfriend!
