New chief executive peer advisory group launched in Cincinnati by Vistage Chairs Harry Robinson and Roger Johannigman

San Diego, March 31, 2015— Vistage Chairs Harry Robinson and Roger Johannigman have announced the formation of the newest chief executive group, for owners and CEOs in Cincinnati, Ohio. As two of more than 400 Vistage Chairs in the US, Robinson and Johannigman will help their group members get results using a proprietary issue processing method to tackle their most challenging business questions. More than 45,000 executives, business owners and CEOs around the world rely on local area groups to get the most out of their businesses.

Vistage Regional Executive Rob Knauer applauded their success: “Together Harry, as a long tenured Chair, and Roger as a relatively new Chair and past long time member, will deliver an attractive and interesting balance of experience and freshness to their Vistage group. This “self-start” group came together very quickly, comparatively speaking, and is a testament to the value these members anticipate Harry and Roger will provide. Harry and Roger are polished professionals “on and off the court”. They serve the Vistage and local community in ways that go well above and beyond the normal call of duty. We are privileged to have them as part of our team.”
