As an innovation advisor and the Founder of Lighthouse Consulting, he has advised leaders in growth, strategy, adaptability, and innovation for more than three decades. He’s been described as ‘a big firm consulting brain, without all the worthless baggage.’ His knowledge is deep, and his style is direct, passionate, and creative. The results, and nearly 30 years in business, speak for themselves.
Robertson is the award-winning author of three books: A Deliberate Pause, The Language of Man, and his newly released Rebel Leadership: How to Thrive in Uncertain Times. He’s a popular columnist for Inc. Magazine, The Creativity Post, SmartBrief on Leadership, and CEOWorld Magazine, as well as a regular contributor to Fast Company, Thrive Global, Productive Flourishing, and other respected publications.
In 2021 Robertson was named a Fulbright Scholar, a rarity for non-academic professionals. He’s a sought-after keynote speaker—as engaging, impactful, and memorable in a one-on-one podcast as he is in front of a 3,000+ audience. He’s a proud graduate of Stanford University and Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, and a former Adjunct Professor of Entrepreneurship at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business.
