EVENT HONOREE

Rob and Alexa McDonald

Rob is the Chair of Taft’s Cincinnati Business practice group where he has garnered a reputation as principal outside counsel to private equity and venture capital funds, growth-minded companies, sports franchises, and research institutions. In doing so, he leads mergers and acquisitions, equity financings, securities offerings, significant commercial transactions, and other major strategic initiatives.

 Rob has been an active leader with Dan Beard Council since joining the Board of Directors in 2010.  Rob frequently credits his time in Scouting with helping to shape him.  Rob’s time in Scouting was largely spent as part of the Far East Council in Manila, Philippines and in Kobe, Japan, where he earned his Eagle Scout rank. In 2015, Dan Beard Council awarded Rob the Silver Beaver award largely in part due to his outreach and development efforts.

Rob received his bachelor’s degree from Duke University,  MBA from the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University, and J.D. from Washington University School of Law.  Rob grew up in the United States, Canada, the Philippines, Japan and Belgium.

 Rob serves on the Boards of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, InnovateOhio, Main Street Ventures, and the Association for Corporate Growth (ACG) Cincinnati. Rob is the proud husband to Alexa and proud father to Wells (5) and Halle (3).
