Rob O’Byrne
Rob was born in Jersey in the UK, was educated at Cranfield University in the UK and moved to Australia in 1993. He became a proud Australian citizen in 1997 (and yes, he cheers for Australia at the cricket).
Rob lives in Sydney and oversees the operations of Logistics Bureau, Logistics Bureau Asia and Benchmarking Success. Since establishing Logistics Bureau in 1997, Rob has enjoyed overseeing over 1,200 client projects, based in 22 countries, across a broad range of industries. His greatest satisfaction is in assisting customers improve their business and operational performance.
Over the years Rob has personally led projects that have delivered millions in bottom line savings and improved customer service levels.
Rob is the co-founder, owner and Group Managing Director of Logistics Bureau and has been working, teaching and consulting in the field of Logistics and Supply Chain since he was 17. Along the way, Rob has picked up a few interesting ‘ticks in the box’, such as a Masters Degree in Logistics from Cranfield, a stint as a Nuclear Rocket Engineer and membership of Mensa (the high IQ society). So he probably qualifies as an entrant for Beauty and the Geek!
Outside work, Rob’s interests include boating, learning piano, singing and songwriting. He is married with four grown children.
