President or CEO: Small-Midsize Company

Inducted into the John M. Langston Bar Association Hall of Fame, Robert W. Brown is the president at the University of West Los Angeles. Leveraging this record of success, he engineered a comprehensive institutional overhaul to democratize top-tier legal and business education for non-traditional working students from traditionally disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds. This expertise extends to Brown’s 44 years of specialized professional experience serving as an executive legal counsel and corporate finance advisor to Fortune 100 financial institutions. He sustains this momentum by driving high-impact international student enrollment growth programs across Asia and orchestrating a landmark San Fernando Valley campus facility acquisition previously owned by UCLA. This leadership trajectory supports his extensive Southern California civic governance commitments, which include active board positions with New Omni Bank, the Valley Industry and Commerce Association and the San Fernando Valley Bar Association. Brown commemorates a 27-year executive tenure after scaling enrollment to a 20-year high and doubling institutional profits.
