Robert Dickie

I am the current President of Crown. I’ve been called a “hired-gun executive” which basically means I’ve been hired twice by companies to come in and serve as their CEO and President. I also serve as a consultant occasionally and love working with companies and teams in that fashion and find the work to be truly rewarding. I’ve been blessed to have a pretty diverse background having started my career in the military and having now worked in private and non-profit sectors. I’ve worked with companies in multiple environments from start-up, to high growth, and turn-around environments. My favorite is the start-up environment with the excitement that surrounds a new project and building and developing a new team.
