Robbie Ropella
CEO
robbie@ropella.comOver the years, she has solved searches at the highest levels—for many great companies, transforming leadership teams and helping them accelerate growth. What drives her most is seeing her clients win through hiring A-Players and transformational leaders.
Being able to look back at the people she’s helped with career transitions and the companies she’s helped thrive—and knowing the impact they’ve created together—is what fuels her passion for the work.
As a servant leader, Robbie is known for her unstoppable drive, extremely high standards, and deep commitment to excellence. She brings a rare blend of strategic vision, operational discipline, and emotional intelligence, backed by great communications skills, to her internal leadership team and to the clients and candidates we serve.
Under her guidance, Ropella 360 has built a high-performance culture grounded in accountability, communications & trust. She also genuinely cares about empowering her team and driving long-term success for our corporate and PE clients.
What truly sets Robbie apart is the way she builds lasting relationships—with both executives and candidates. She sees beyond the résumé and the job description, taking time to understand each person’s goals, values, and potential. For Robbie, it’s never just about filling a role—it’s about creating the perfect match. She’s fiercely committed to aligning people and purpose in ways that deliver lasting impact and mutual success.
Outside of work, Robbie brings that same energy and heart to everything she does. She’s fiercely competitive—she doesn’t just like to win, she has to win—and brings that spirit to everything from pickleball and wallyball to martial arts, kayaking, and Topgolf.
She loves spending quality time with Patrick (the Founder & Chairman of Ropella 360)—trying fun restaurants, traveling together, and doting on their pups. She also enjoys dreaming up fun and creative ways to build team culture and—according to those who know her best—she may as well have a PhD in shopping. Robbie is a thoughtful gift-giver, a philanthropist with a long list of favorite nonprofits, a proud Nana, and someone who never misses a chance to make people feel seen, appreciated, and celebrated.
