Robert Olson
Chief Operating Officer, Achēv

Rob Olson first joined Achēv as the Director of Marketing and has since brought his broad business acumen to an ever evolving and expanding portfolio of responsibility across the organization. He has served as Achēv's Chief Operations Officer for over a decade. At Achēv Rob led the Business Development team to year over year increases in revenue and led the rebranding initiative to launch what is now Achēv. Currently, Rob leads strategic initiatives including Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) and ensuring a seamless client experience. Rob serves as Executive oversight of Human Resources and acts as Achēv’s Chief Privacy Officer.

Previous to Achēv, Rob thrived in the fast-paced agency world of marketing and public relations, and held progressively more senior positions across the business spectrum including public relations and marketing, operations and technology installations as well as vendor and strategy development.

He shifted his focus to the not-for-profit sector in an effort to bring his skills and experience to organizations whose goals were to make positive impacts on citizens and communities. Although a much different industry, the results are more tangible and ultimately more satisfying as they directly affect families and the neighborhoods in which we live.

Fluent in French, Rob holds undergrad and graduate degrees from Queen’s University, is accredited as a Privacy Professional through the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) and holds certificates of completion for risk management and internal controls.

Rob currently sits on the Board for Community Door whose mission is to help provide the residents of Peel Region easy access to vital health and social services.
