He brings over 30 years of experience spanning Big Law partnership, in-house executive leadership, and a rare pre-law foundation in software engineering \u2014 a combination that allows him to navigate the technical, business, and legal dimensions of enterprise software at the intersection of AI, edge computing, and the digital employee experience. <\/p>\n<p>Prior to Lakeside, Brian led the buildout and management of the legal and GRC functions at Huntress, a high-growth cybersecurity company, guiding the legal organization from early stage through unicorn status and into its pre-IPO phase. Before that, he was Senior Associate General Counsel at Henry Ford Health, a $7 billion healthcare and research system, where he served as lead counsel for innovation, IT, telemedicine, and data privacy and cybersecurity, and sat on the Executive Cybersecurity, Digital Strategies, IP, Data Governance, and IT Leadership Committees.

That technical foundation, combined with his legal expertise and an MBA from Indiana University&#8217;s Kelley School of Business, enables him to bridge the gap between engineers, executives, and legal teams. Brian earned his J.D. from Chicago-Kent College of Law and holds a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Michigan-Flint. He currently serves as an Advisory Board Member for AI 2030 and formerly served as a Trustee on the Board of Education for Dexter Community Schools and on advisory boards for technology startups. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n                        \n        <div class=\"leadership-bio-slider leadership-slide-hidden\" id=\"slide-8\">\n        <div class=\"leadership-bio-close\" onclick=\"leadership_bio_close()\">\n            <button id=\"leadership-bio-close-btn\">\n                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" \n                    src=\"https:\/\/www.lakesidesoftware.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/BOL%20Lakeside%20Leadership\/template-parts\/assets\/close-button.svg\"\n                    width=\"40\"\n                    height=\"40\"\n                \/>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"leadership-bio-slide\">\n            <div class=\"leadership-bio-info\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" \n                    src=\"https:\/\/www.lakesidesoftware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dobson.png\" \n                    alt=\"Robert Dobson\" \n                    height=\"354\"\n                    width=\"286\"\n                    loading=\"lazy\"\n                    class=\"leadership-image\"\n                \/>\n                <h3 class=\"leadership-name\">Robert Dobson<\/h3>\n                <p class=\"leadership-position\">VP, Partners<\/p>\n                <a class=\"leadership-linkedin-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/robert-c-dobson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\n                        src=\"https:\/\/www.lakesidesoftware.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/BOL%20Lakeside%20Leadership\/template-parts\/assets\/linkedIn_icon.svg\"\n                        width=\"28\"\n                        height=\"28\"\n                        class=\"leadership-linkedin-icon\"\n                    \/>\n                <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"leadership-bio-bio\">\n                <h2>About Robert Dobson<\/h2>\n                <p> <p>Robert is responsible for the team supporting Lakeside&#8217;s partners.
