Robert Half Inc. announced that its executive vice president of corporate development, Robert (Bob) Glass, passed away recently. Glass was part of Robert Half’s original management team after it was acquired from founder Bob Half in 1986 and had served in the EVP role since 2004. Glass had also been on the ASA legal and legislative committee since 2004.

“Bob’s passing is a great loss to the staffing community,” said Stephen Dwyer, president and chief executive officer of ASA. “He was deeply committed to the mission of connecting talent with opportunity, and instrumental in protecting the industry from threats. Most important, he was a wonderful person.”

Glass was former chair of Upwardly Global, a national organization that helps highly-skilled immigrants and refugees rebuild their professional careers in the U.S., and a trustee for the Rhode Island School of Design. In 2020, he joined the Center of Excellence for Multiple Myeloma at Mount Sinai as a founding member of its advisory board. He was a dedicated champion of the center’s mission to advance a cure for myeloma. Glass was a multiple myeloma survivor.
