About RMI

Meet Our CEO, Ken Robbins

RMI CEO & Founder Ken Robbins got his start in business when he dropped out of Georgia Tech and earned his real estate license. He began knocking on doors—sometimes 150/day— and became the youngest board-certified multi-million dollar producer at age 24. The man behind one of those doors was a veteran ad agency owner who recruited Ken out of real estate to start a new initiative at his then agency, BKV, and eventually backed him, founding RMI in 2001.

In 2009, Ken realized that the agency was suffering a mid-life crisis. RMI lost a major account, some valuable talent was leaving for greener pastures, internal politics were increasing, and quality was decreasing. Something had to change. That’s when Ken found a group of CEOs called The Brain Trust and mentors- Tom Cramer and Bill Schwarz. Through their advice and counsel and using the concepts of Systems Thinking, Ken and his team transformed RMI to focus on competitive advantage, leverage points, self-disclosure, employee self-management, and deep Trusted Advisor client service.

Ken has been featured in articles in Inventor’s Digest, Atlanta Business Chronicle, Strategic Healthcare Marketing. Ken has also been a featured contributor to the best-selling books, Socialnomics and The Digital Leader and is an avid Keynote Speaker and business podcast guest.
