“This is an important and exciting moment for TFMoran, and we are deeply grateful to Bob for his many years of outstanding leadership and dedication,” said Golon. “Bob has led with preparedness, insight, curiosity and genuine care for both the people and the work, always encouraging us to ask the right questions and think more deeply. His guidance and presence have shaped our firm in lasting ways. With over 40 years of experience, Bob remains a trusted mentor and valued resource, and his impact will be felt for many years to come.”
