Rob Hollman | Executive Director & Board Chair

As a third-generation Southern Californian, Rob was instilled with a strong sense of community responsibility by his grandparents. As they were some of the original founders of the Los Angeles Music Center, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and several other non-profit organizations, Rob learned early in life the importance and value of being involved with charitable organizations.

Rob continued his family’s philanthropic relationship with the city by becoming a charter member of young professional chapters of the LACMA’s Avant Garde, Los Angeles Public Library’s Young Literati, the Hammer Museum’s Fellows and the Museum of Contemporary Art’s Contemporaries. He was also a Board member of Los Angeles Opera’s Educational Advisory Council and continues to be of service serving various volunteer leadership positions including being a Board member of the Boys & Girls Club of Burbank and the Greater East Valley.

A graduate of Bennington College, majoring in Drama and Literature, Rob went on to Cornell University receiving a Masters in Hospitality Management. He considers himself to be a lifelong learner and has lectured on topics like altruism in the workplace and modern day stoicism.

Rob’s professional fundraising career began in 2008 with a 41⁄2-year tenure as Manager of Individual and Corporate Giving at UCLA’s public performing arts program, UCLA Live, steering their fundraising towards and beyond annual goals and also through the economic uncertainty of a major global recession.

Rob went on to work with the American Institute of Architecture’s Los Angeles (AIA|LA) chapter to help create a center for architecture and, soon after, started his own consulting company, Rosinante Group Advisors, serving clients that combine a local and national presence including: Bothwell Ranch Foundation, Save LACMA, Phoenix House, Soroptimist International Los Angeles, PBS SoCal, Institute of Neurodiversity US, Ojai Playwrights Conference, Phoenix House, Kids 4 Life, Los Angeles Police Reserve Foundation, Homeland Security Advisory Council, Preserve Orange County, iMozart Foundation, Arent Fox LLP, Heroic Imagination Project, Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation, and Los Angeles Emergency Preparedness Foundation.

Rob lives with his wife, Stacee, and their two children, Eugene and Chloe, in Valley Village.
