Shortly thereafter, Roberta was involved in taking the company through a public offering.

By her own wits--and through trial and error--Roberta has built on her success and has become an internationally recognized thought-leader and consultant, often appearing on television on programs such as CBS's The Early Show, Fox's The O'Reilly Factor, Fox Business News and CNN's Quest Means Business with Richard Quest. She is frequently invited to be a guest on radio shows across America.
