About

Global consultant. Strategic technologist.

I'm Robert Snell – a globe-travelling consultant who brings two decades of international experience in technology leadership and open source intelligence to help organizations navigate complex digital challenges.

From the boardrooms of London to tech startups in Halifax, I've partnered with companies across continents to transform their technology strategies and leverage OSINT for competitive advantage. My journey has taken me from leading IT operations for 1,500+ employees internationally to co-founding Confidion, a global OSINT consultancy serving clients across Canada, the US, the UK, and EMEA.

Currently serving as Director of IT at Grinner's Food Systems while maintaining board positions with innovative companies, I bring a unique blend of hands-on technical expertise and C-suite strategic thinking.

When I'm not working, you'll find me on the golf course perfecting my swing or exploring the nuanced world of whisky collecting – pursuits that, much like technology consulting, require patience, precision, and an appreciation for continuous improvement.

  • 20+ Years experience
  • 4 Continents served
  • 10+ Years in OSINT
  • 1,500+ IT users supported
