Brian Roberts Email Address

Chief Executive Officer Advisor, Vistage Executive Peer Group Leader, and Connector

Vistage is the world's leading advisory & executive coaching organization. Our executive coaching is designed for CEOs, business owners & leaders.

My purpose is to have a positive impact on every person I meet. Whether that is a simple wink and a smile to brighten up someone's day, or to help a CEO become a better leader, enabling them to have an even greater impact on their company, employees and community. I've been blessed to have many business experiences. I've worked for a Fortune 100 company as well as my own bootstrapping of Croix Connect. I’ve been with PE/VC/Angel backed companies, private tightly held companies and public companies. I've been on both sides of an M&A event, rode a company to IPO, and was with one that experienced bankruptcy. I've served clients from Fortune 100 to businesses in the $5M to $150M range. Croix Connect has also provided services to the government, so I understand the B2G world too. I work with executives to take them from being a good leader to a great leader. I do this as a facilitator of executive peer groups for Vistage Worldwide or through my company Croix Connect where I work with executive teams, or one-on-one with CEOs/owners. I currently run three Vistage executive peer groups in Washington DC Metro area, as well as an Emerging Leader program for the best and brightest of middle managers in your organization. I earned Master Chair designation in 2021. What else should you know about me? I hosted "Taking Care of Business with Brian Roberts" on (then) ABC Radio's WMAL in Washington DC from 2004-2007. Guests included top local business and government leaders, and nationally known executives including Carly Fiorina (HP) and Sandy Weill (Citigroup). I also served in the USAF and the highlight was a White House Communications Agency (WHCA) tour that included being part of the communications advance team for the first two Reagan-Gorbachev Summits in Geneva, Switzerland and Reykjavik, Iceland. Community service: Catholic Charities, USO Volunteer, and Knights of Columbus.
