About R² Consulting Partners
Experienced leadership for consequential moments.
Bridging institutional finance and mission-driven investing to expand access to capital and strengthen organizations.
Why R² exists
Senior leadership for the moment before you can hire it.
R² Consulting Partners was founded in response to a challenge Robyn heard repeatedly from founders and mission-driven leaders: their organizations had reached a point where financial and operating decisions were becoming more consequential, but they could not yet support another full-time executive.
R² brings experienced leadership into those moments in a flexible, hands-on way, while building knowledge and capacity that remain with the organization long after the engagement ends.
The work often begins with a critical gap: a leadership seat that is suddenly empty, a process that has outgrown the spreadsheet or a decision no one on the team has faced before. Having worked across institutional investing, credit, community finance and growing businesses in roles as an investor, executive, operator and advisor, Robyn sees challenges from multiple angles and helps clients move from strategy to execution. Every engagement is led directly by Robyn.
Leadership philosophy
“For more than two decades, I built and led investment and credit teams inside a global bank. Today, I bring that technical expertise and leadership experience to impact investment funds, nonprofit organizations and growing businesses, helping close the gaps that can keep strong organizations from reaching their full potential. I care deeply about this work because I believe finance is most powerful when it creates opportunity: helping entrepreneurs grow, organizations thrive and communities prosper.”
Founder & Managing Partner
Robyn Rogin
Institutional rigor. Entrepreneurial perspective. A career focused on impact.
Robyn Rogin is an investment and credit executive, operator, board leader and strategic advisor with more than 25 years of experience helping organizations deploy capital, manage risk and create long-term value.
She spent two decades at Wells Fargo, ultimately leading the bank’s $100+ billion institutional credit investment portfolio after serving as its Chief Credit Officer, where she oversaw its growth from $20 billion to $100 billion. She led a 70-person investment organization, managed a $1.7 billion P&L and a $32 million operating budget, and served on the Wells Fargo Management Committee. She later advised Wells Fargo’s Chief Social Impact & Sustainability Officer on the Foundation’s philanthropic strategy.
That experience led Robyn from institutional finance into community investing and entrepreneurship. At Pacific Community Ventures, as Director of Lending and then Senior Director of Fund Innovation, she built impact loan funds and lending infrastructure that expanded access to capital for women and entrepreneurs of color.
Today, through R², Robyn brings institutional investment and financial expertise to impact funds, small businesses and nonprofits navigating growth and transition. She serves as an interim or fractional Chief Investment Officer, Chief Lending Officer and strategic finance partner, advising CEOs and founders on strategy, capital and operations. She brings clarity to complex decisions, strengthens systems and provides hands-on leadership when the stakes are high.
Beyond the Firm
Robyn serves on the board of Financial Women of San Francisco, where she is a member of the Investment Committee, and on the Advisory Board of Hypatia Capital, adviser to the WCEO ETF (NYSE: WCEO). She mentors founders through Miller Center for Social Entrepreneurship, advises founders in Northeastern University’s Social Innovation Accelerator and serves as an investment advisor to Astia, evaluating investments in women-led startups.
Her broader community engagement has included serving on the board of OneGoal California, as well as leadership roles with Beneficial State Foundation’s Equitable Bank Standards Council and the Bay Area Women’s Network of CDFIs, all connected by a commitment to expanding access to capital, supporting entrepreneurs and creating greater economic opportunity.
Outside the Office
Outside work, Robyn is happiest on a dance floor, or cheering on her kids, playing tennis, hiking with friends, traveling or getting completely lost in a great book.
