Talentful, a leading RPO for the global tech sector, is excited to announce that Rob Keve has joined the company as an Advisor. With a career as an investor and entrepreneur spanning over three decades, Rob founded and spearheaded the acquisition of two global, pioneering companies, Fizzback and Flow, with exits totaling $580 million in 2011 and 2022 respectively.  

Rob Keve is known for transforming ideas into thriving international corporations and driving significant growth. Rob recently completed the sale of Flow to Global-e, creating a revolutionary solution to power Shopify Managed Markets (formerly known as Markets Pro). Rob’s strategic vision and leadership have been pivotal in the successful globalization, expansion, and acquisitions of the businesses he has founded and advised. 

“I’m thrilled to join Talentful as an advisor. In a world where the global talent landscape is rapidly evolving and digital transformation is redefining industries, the opportunity to shape how businesses attract and compete for the best talent has never been more exciting,” said Rob Keve. “I look forward to working with CEO Chris Abbas and contributing to Talentful’s journey in navigating these trends.”

Since 2016, Talentful has achieved a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) above 45%, significantly outperforming the market. Rob’s expertise in creating global marketing-leading companies will be instrumental in guiding the Talentful group, including HIGHER and Talentverse, through this next phase as it continues to pursue market dominance, enhancing its offerings across Europe and the US and expanding its footprint further afield.

“In Rob, we’ve found a partner that not only has a deep understanding of Talentful’s global vision and ambition, but the know-how and insight to help us deliver it at pace,” said Chris Abbass, CEO at Talentful. “His background in creating disruptive, high-growth businesses will be a tremendous asset as we continue to scale our products and global influence across the Talentful group.”
