Our guest for today’s Monday Zoom lunch is Rob Wray, someone I had the privilege of knowing and respecting during my time as his Vistage chair in Baltimore. Through facilitating a group of business leaders, I gained insight into how tech-savvy individuals like Rob were transforming cultures and revolutionizing organizational management.
I’m thrilled to introduce you to Rob and to hear about his latest ventures.
Buckle up. If you’re someone who dislikes change, the coming months may feel like a bumpy ride. Artificial Intelligence is reshaping how we live, work, and even how we search for cheese fondue recipes. There’s no turning back—AI is here to stay. Instead of resisting, it’s time to embrace and understand the immense possibilities these new tools offer.
Rob Wray is a serial entrepreneur with a track record of founding and leading three technology companies. Over his career, he has set the vision for and scaled product strategies across complex industries, including healthcare, telematics, online communities, e-commerce, IT, logistics, and data science. His most recent company, WBX, raised $55M in venture capital, grew to over 500 employees across three states, and became a market leader in e-commerce.
Today, Rob is channeling his expertise into harnessing AI technology in innovative ways.
If you’re a lifelong learner (and I know you are), don’t miss this opportunity to join the conversation and have your mind blown.
