Since January of 2018, former Congressman Pat Tiberi has served as President and chief Executive Officer of the Ohio Business Roundtable. 

Under Tiberi, the OBRT has grown in membership, is now more collaborative with like-minded business organizations and has refocused on its core mission of economic development. 

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Tiberi has worked closely with Governor Mike DeWine and Lt. Governor Jon Husted to ensure the voice of business is properly considered on key decisions that affect Ohio's economic climate. 

Additionally, workforce development is a critical priority for OBRT members, and in 2019, Mike DeWine appointed Tiberi Chairman of the Governor's Executive Workforce Board, which is responsible for advising the Governor, Lt. Governor, and the Office of Workforce Transformation about emerging workforce needs, solutions, and best practices.
