jeepshowbook.com Robert B. O'Connor's lifelong interest in history, writing, and decision-making has shaped his professional career and creative pursuits. Born in the 1950s and raised in New York City and New Haven, Connecticut, O'Connor benefitted from his parents’ commitment to a first-class education for their children. He graduated with Highest Honors in History in 1979 from Kenyon College, where he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. O'Connor was also a standout student-athlete, playing soccer all four years and serving as co-captain of the men's team his senior year. O'Connor began his career at Procter & Gamble in 1979 as a Brand Assistant and then Assistant Brand Manager, moving to Memphis, where he still lives today, for them. In 1982, he moved to the advertising agency John Malmo Advertising, later Archer-Malmo, as a Vice President and then Executive VP until 1992. In 1992, O'Connor co-founded O'Connor Kenny Partners. As CEO, he led the advertising agency for 12 years. In 2004, he started his marketing consulting practice, OKPI, working with telemedicine startup StatLink, among other clients. In 2015, he leveraged his interest in personal development and decision-making by writing his first book, Gumptionade. This nonfiction work focuses on personal development and the power of gumption: courage, resourcefulness, and common sense harnessed together. Between 2016 and 2022, O'Connor served on the board of the nonprofit Thistle & Bee Enterprises, which aids women survivors of human trafficking. He also served as Acting CEO during a period of transition. #wwii #robertoconnor #jameslottjr #books
