A multifaceted leader, Roby’s experience ranges from managing $35M+ portfolios to founding Zakim Paint Co., a queer- and veteran-owned business born out of the COVID-19 pandemic to provide work for marginalized communities. Her commitment to service extends to her role on the CX Advisory Board for Our Lady of the Lake University and her long-standing membership in the International Society for Philosophical Enquiry (ISPE). Whether commissioning LGBTQ+ sports leagues or optimizing human systems for the Department of Defense, Roby remains dedicated to delivering real mission impact through solutions that prioritize the human experience.
