With the expansion from hospitality into other consumer-centric industries such as Health Care, and Human Resources Technology, Bob Kobek, President, and CEO of MobiusVP, says “we are growing so quickly that gaining an outside perspective and expertise from other sectors will be invaluable.”
“We are off to a great start with Jeff Hansen as the point person as we grow this board. We are very privileged to have the unique opportunity to take advantage of Jeff’s elite knowledge of business finance and strategic planning process. As we enter into year 25, his presence will help ensure continued growth and success of our company and the services we offer.”

He has been integral in creating and growing branded products and diverse teams in many different regions of the world. His strong business acumen, leadership experience, and military background make him a distinctive talent and exceptional addition to the Mobius Partners Advisory team.
Prior to working with Travel + Leisure Co., Jeff served as regional asset management leader for multiple departments within The Ritz Carlton Club and Marriott Vacation Club brands. As a critical member of the
Marriott Vacations Worldwide M&A team, he helped to shape the strategy and completion of the $2B+ acquisition of Interval Leisure Group (ILG).

The bridge he built between the stakeholders and VAC led to a dramatic increase in stock value over the next several years.
Jeff has a broad area of expertise in creating and driving business growth – He has managed luxury brands, built complex financial models within the real estate and the vacation ownership industries, and managed the complicated terrain of wall street with a newly public company.
