Rob Klee CFO
Rob Klee is the acting Chief Financial Officer of Her Interactive, Inc. providing outsourced financial consulting. He is also a shareholder with the CPA firm Smith Bunday Berman Britton.
In Rob's spare time...like he has much of that these days...he enjoys spending time with his wonderful wife and kids, coaching his son's basketball team, and cheering for his daughter as she plays soccer. You might also find him riding a bike, running, or catching the local Pearl Jam show (because let's face it - "dude, they still rock"), that is unless it is tax season. Then you'll find him sitting behind a desk, calculator in hand, counting beans.
Robert Riedl Executive Producer
Robert is responsible ensuring the PC games are high quality, on budget, and on schedule. He has also contributed to the development of our Nancy Drew titles in a variety of roles ranging from lead designer to localization manager.
In his spare time, Robert enjoys bird watching and playing Scrabble in English and French. Prior to joining Her Interactive in 1995, Robert worked for Moebius Printing, Harley Davidson International and US West. Robert holds a degree in Psychology and French from the University of Wisconsin, and has also attended the Universite d'Aix et Marseille and the Anderson School of Business at the University of New Mexico.
