Robert Schade

Robert Schade has 20 years of diversified business experience ranging from financial markets to technology start-ups. At Strategyn, he manages a diversified client portfolio that includes financial services, consumer packaged goods, technology and healthcare. Additionally, he leads Strategyn’s partner and strategic investments programs and periodically serves on advisory boards of start-up organizations.

Before joining Strategyn, Robert led sales and marketing activities for early-stage technology start-ups. With an expertise in new product introduction, he has helped companies catalyze the critical sales and marketing activities needed to ensure early-stage success.

Robert started his career in public accounting and consulting at Touche Ross & Co, (now Deloitte & Touche). After several years in Financial Services he joined their Emerging Growth Business Consulting Group and provided strategy consulting to early-stage companies.

Bitten by the entrepreneur’s bug, Robert left the field of consulting and created a multi-million dollar entertainment business that employed over 30 people and repaid investors in less than 2 years. After selling his business he began a career in high-tech, joining an early-stage technology hardware start-up. There, he lead the sales efforts and produced a 70 percent yearly compound growth over 5 years. Following the successful sale of that company, Robert worked in senior sales, marketing and business development positions for 3 technology companies which were either acquired or taken public, and personally consulted with several other organizations.
