Bob Littell / NetWeaving International
Chief NetWeaver

Although Bob’s background for the last 47 years has been in financialservices, his real passion for the last 17 years is a concept he createdcalled Netweaving. NetWeaving is almost the reverse of more traditional ‘networking’ because it’s focused on helping others, rather than the more ‘self-serving’ networking. With permission of Catherine Ryan Hyde, author of the book on which the popular movie was based – “Pay It Forward”, NetWeaving is now known internationally as the ‘business’ version of ‘pay iit forward’. Bob was the first elected of the Pay it Forward Foundation and still serves on their Board.
