Robert Evans is a seasoned product and operations leader turned art-world partner, combining three decades of experience shipping consumer electronics with a recent shift into art history and gallery practice in San Francisco. He has founded and led multiple startups and consulting firms, scaling teams and supply chains to deliver millions of hardware units and consumer products worldwide. Technically fluent and hands-on, he has contributed to open-source tooling around Windows app templates and driven rapid prototyping, NPI, and global manufacturing at companies from Flip Video to Cisco. Equally comfortable defining the first prototype or optimizing the millionth unit, he blends strategic vision with deep operational rigor and supplier relationships. Now studying art theory and generative systems, he brings a rare interdisciplinary perspective—applying systems-thinking from hardware and IoT to curatorial and theoretical work in contemporary art.
