Robert Pasin

Robert heads Radio Flyer Inc., the business founded by his grandfather in 1917. Radio Flyer is an iconic brand that holds a special place in people's hearts because it instantly transports them to a happy time — to the best parts of childhood. Robert works with a wonderful group of passionate "Flyers" whose mission is to create products that bring smiles to kids of all ages and to create warm memories that last a lifetime. Company sales have grown significantly as a result of Robert’s focus on building a highly committed and creative team. Fortune Magazine recognized Radio Flyer as the #1 workplace in the US (for companies with 300 employees or less). The product line has expanded beyond the iconic Little Red Wagon™ to include tricycles, scooters, and other ride-ons featuring innovative, beautiful, playful design.

In 1991, Robert earned his Bachelor’s Degree in History from the University of Notre Dame, and after graduation, he volunteer taught 6th grade in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood. Robert completed his M.B.A. at Northwestern University’s Kellogg Graduate School of Management.
