LEADERSHIP
Robb Borden
After graduating Auburn University, Robb’s career began in sales in 1995. In 2002, Robb joined Suntech Systems as a
partner and VP of Operations. In 2005, after growing Suntech to the largest integrator in the region, together with their
partners, they sold the business to a strategic buyer out of California. In 2006, Robb founded Onepath and served as its
President and CEO until 2016. As an integrator, Onepath offered services similar to their prior company, but also was one
of the first companies to bridge the gap between building systems integration and network integration. From 2006 to 2017,
when Robb exited the business, Onepath experienced growth from zero to approximately 220M in revenue.

Basesix sounds like “basics” , and its not a mistake. In founding and operating Basesix, Chris, Robb, and John have a desire
to bring things back down to a level that once again can be enjoyable, manageable, simple, celebrated, and most of all, adaptable to what is
needed. Big companies often lose their sense of personal service, because processes and software take the place of human
interaction. Being nimble allows Basesix to do what others can’t, both for clients and employees.

that is unmatched in the areas served by Basesix.
