Meet Bob Shingler

Experience

Bob began his career as one of the first 100 employees of BellSouth Corporation when the company was divested from AT&T in 1983. He was responsible for Merger & Acquisition analysis and valuation as the company expanded into new lines of business. Later, he was responsible for financial planning for BellSouth Enterprises, a domestic and international portfolio of companies representing the majority of BellSouth’s market capitalization of over $80B.

As an executive for BellSouth International in the 1990’s, Bob served on the board of directors of multinational joint ventures in Europe, Asia/Pacific, and Latin America, where he actively worked with management to develop value creation plans to improve operating performance. He lived in Europe for four years serving as BellSouth’s board representative and operating executive, overseeing various joint ventures. Later, he served as Deputy CEO of a multi-billion dollar wireless operator in Denmark. Upon returning from Europe in the late 90s, Bob raised funding from BellSouth Ventures to start a national broadband ISP in Austin, TX, the only broadband internet service ever offered by BellSouth outside of its region.

Since then, Bob has served as President or CEO of multiple technology companies ranging from start-up businesses to billion-dollar nationwide enterprises, excelling in his ability to deliver rapid results to companies in need of new direction.

Bob is a Certified Exit Planning Advisor, helping business owners and their companies get ready for transitions. Outside of his current position as Managing Director of KMJ Partners, he holds a Commercial Pilots License with both single and multi-engine ratings. He is also an avid sailor/racer having competed on a national and international level.
