Robert Vandenberg | President, Lingotek | Age: 37 | “One good thing about music, when it hits - you feel no pain.” —Bob Marley

Today, Vandenberg serves as president of Lingotek and has positioned the company to soar. “Start-ups are awesome,” he says. “Being able to dream up new uses for technology, work with talented engineers to build the dream, pitch the dream, sell the dream and see the technology in use.”

A self-proclaimed “momma’s boy,” Vandenberg says what keeps his entrepreneurial spirit healthy are the simplicities of life. “I appreciate each day and want to make the most of each of them.”
