"Robert Gora is a fully fledged procurement / supply chain leader. He works himself deep into the industries and commodities and over his career gained immense expertise. What really distinguishes him is the ability to think about and anticipate market trends and therefore start early to adjust procurement strategies. He includes suppliers as strategic partners and therefore not only works on the pricing side but on many more aspects of total cost of ownership. His commitment and quality of deliverables is very high. He is a true team player and working in close collaboration with his stakeholders."

"Robert and I have been peers for 10 years. I always enjoyed his fact-based working attitude and advice. This made him a great partner. He is an empathic leader with a high level of integrity, standing firm to his opinion and supporting his team even in difficult times. What differentiates him from others is his business understanding, the strong commitment, focus on the real important things and driving implementation. Robert is highly experienced procurement leader, who walks his talk."

"Robert and I had always a trust- and successful collaboration over the last 15 years. He is a great and reliable business partner, even in difficult times, which makes the difference. He is straight forward, focussing on the subject and results. "

"I had the pleasure of working with Robert during his tenure as the global head of procurement for logistics services at Siemens AG. From the moment we started collaborating, it was clear that Robert was a top executive, greatly professional with ambitious targets, known for his high standards. I am delighted to say that our professional relationship blossomed into a fruitful partnership, built on trust, exceeding results, and mutual benefits. Robert's unwavering commitment to excellence and performance focus pushed me to deliver my best work consistently. It ultimately led to the development of a strong working dynamic that propelled us to achieve remarkable outcomes. What truly set Robert apart was his ability to foster trust and build lasting relationships. I found him to be fair, transparent, and always willing to listen to different perspectives. He recognized the value of collaboration and actively sought input from all stakeholders, ensuring that our partnership was built on a foundation of open communication and shared goals."

"As corporate sponsor for the Siemens business at Fedex, I got to know and appreciate Robert Gora as a global logistics expert and a fair and trustworthy business partner. His strategic approach, analytical thinking, entrepreneurial spirit and empowering team leadership was foundational for our strategic collaboration resulting in a true win/win business relationship. Robert’s curiosity for new logistics trends combined with an out of the box thinking goes far beyond a traditional procurement approach. The outcome is holistic and focused on total cost of ownership rather than a pure play price negotiation. I enjoyed his willingness to leave traditional paths behind and being open minded for innovations. Hence, it is no surprise that the digitalization initiatives of his organization definitely distinguish Siemens from many other companies"

"Robert, as my boss for over 10 years, is a really great leader who always guides the team to the right direction with extraordinary vision. We had a very close and trustful collaboration, and you could always approach him for any suggestion, he is always acting as advisor and coach with open mind and would like to help to build and foster my career and rise up valuable innovative ideas to break the hurdle. With the deep knowhow on procurement circle, and strong intercultural abilities, Robert has shaped and managed his international team all over the world in a very proper and successful way, so we are able to build up a reliable relationship to each other, and seamless cooperation for a common goal."
