The Operations Guy

Robert Agres
Chief Operating Officer Because someone’s got to handle the boring stuff that nobody else wants to. You know, like keeping the company running. In His Own Words: "I have three kids whose school projects have gotten more complicated and precise. When they dive into a presentation or a poster, I stock up on Ghostline products because the grids make them easier to work with it — not to mention cleaner and easier to read. As the operations guy, I’m a big fan of practicality … but my kids think the disappearing lines are pretty cool, so everyone wins in the end." Bob’s Favorite Product: A black or blue Notebound notebook. Bob is strictly down-to-earth, no flowers or wildly colored dots. This notebook is great for him because the pen holder means that he always has a pen ready to jot down notes.
More About Bob: Bob joined the Carolina Pad team in the fall of 2008. As chief operating officer, he oversees all of the day-to-day functions that make the company tick. Over the past 12 years, Bob has served as chief financial officer for three different companies, including book distributor Baker & Taylor, telecom company Orius Corporation, and Triarc Beverages.
A certified public accountant, Bob earned his bachelor of science degree in accounting from Villanova University and his master’s degree in finance from Fairfield University. |
