Bob is a lifelong advocate for the power of business and businesspeople to create flourishing communities. As President & CEO of Partners Worldwide, Bob serves a global Christian network using business to end poverty. The PW network spans more than 30 countries and supports over 120 locally rooted, globally connected partnerships that serve over 335,000 redemptive entrepreneurs—many in communities facing high barriers to opportunity. Bob believes poverty is not God’s design and business is essential to ending it. Businesspeople in every community have a calling. When they’re supported with the right relationships and resources, they create lasting impact where everyone can flourish. Bob has a business degree from Calvin University and lives with his family in Central America.
