The CEO and founder of Chief of Minds (COM), a human resources firm she launched in 2014, Chief of Minds Staffing, and Chief of Minds Insurance, Robichaux’s strategic skill set as a problem-solver, success seeker, and organizational leader has allowed her to help build high-performing teams by optimizing operations and developing executive leaders.
