"I have known and worked with Bob DiLonardo in various capacities for over 15 years and at three different companies. His contributions have always been invaluable. His leadership and creativity in new product development and marketing were a big part of the success that we enjoyed at Security Tag Systems from the development of our Ink Tag and benefit denial product line. As a consultant to Sensormatic, Bob was involved in some of our most important sales and marketing initiatives - especially in the are of return on investment (ROI) models and cost justification for our major prospects and clients. He is a fountain of information on the loss prevention industry and is skilled at working at all levels in a company. Bob's attention to detail, his work ethic, focus and performance are top-notch. His personal ethics are without question, and he is respected throughout the industry."
  Jerry T. Kendall - former Executive Vice President, Americas for Sensormatic
“Bob’s innovative work on the financial value or cost-effectiveness of EAS and benefit denial, as well as developing ROI models, has been and remains very significant for the retail loss prevention community.”

“Bob’s deep understanding of retail security trends was key to helping Ampersand Ventures reach an investment decision. In a very short timeframe, he was able to provide insight into product positioning, cost justification, competitive threats, and expected retail buyer interest. We would certainly consult Bob again should a similar opportunity present itself”.
  Todd M. Rainville – Principal, Ampersand Ventures
“I have known and worked with Bob DiLonardo for many years, and can attest to his understanding and expertise in retail accounting economics and ROI development. He has a passion for the effective development and use of anti-theft technology, and the ability to phrase financial concepts in terms that are easy-to-understand. I’m fortunate to be able to call Bob a colleague in an industry that needs professionals of his caliber and integrity.”
  King Rogers – CEO of King Rogers International
“Bob DiLonardo's experience in both retail and on the security products manufacturing side gives him a unique, in-depth perspective on the anti-shoplifting technology issues facing the loss prevention community. He's a straight-shooter, and will always provide an informed and un-biased opinion".
  Ed Wolfe – Vice President, Loss Prevention, Bloomingdale’s
"We had several loss prevention projects where we needed the advice of a financial professional to assist us in creating a return on investment (ROI) profile that would stand up to the scrutiny of our internal financial folks, and some of our key officers as well. Bob spearheaded the creation of the ROI documents we needed on these projects and made himself available in Chicago for a high level review of one of the projects, which was crucial. He was able to assist our efforts in communicating the reasoning behind the numbers and ultimately we were successful in securing funding. We could not have put the numbers together in the format required without Bob's efforts".
  Jim Falk, CPP -National Loss Prevention Manager, Ace Hardware Corp.

“The ability to make a business case for the loss prevention efforts is critical in today’s hyper-competitive marketplace. Bob’s work with research and ROI models advances our industry’s ability to do just that and Loss Prevention executives should be paying attention to it.”
