Robin Ingles
Robin was initially lured to Seniors in Service as a volunteer, and her passion for the mission made it impossible for her to leave. Named Seniors in Service’s first-ever Director of Marketing and Development in 2015, she simply fell in love with the volunteers and their heartwarming stories, so when offered the CEO position in 2019, she jumped at the chance!
Robin brings 20+ years of experience in finance, entrepreneurship, marketing, operations, team building and leadership, all directly applicable to the non-profit world. With a B.S. in Accounting from Wake Forest University, Robin applied her accounting expertise in the world of professional sports: from NASCAR to PGA Tour to Controller of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Later, as President of a 22-unit auto repair franchisor, her marketing skills led her to launch her own boutique advertising agency, advising small businesses in all industries across Tampa Bay. Selling her business inspired her to apply her talents to the non-profit sector.
As CEO, Robin has overseen the launching of new services and significant expansion of our impact throughout Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco Counties, managing multiple federal, state, county, city and private grant contracts and restricted/unrestricted contributions. A recognized leader in the field of aging, Robin is invited to speak in retirement communities and advocacy groups. Robin believes communities must come together to improve quality of life for all. “We can’t do it alone. I am committed to building enduring partnerships to tackle really complex issues that matter to the world and make my life purposeful.”
Chris Noble
Making a difference in peoples' lives has always been the hallmark of Chris's life and career. Through his extensive youth work and pastorates throughout the United States, he developed a love for people and volunteers that eventually led him to Seniors in Service.
Chris began his management career at Lowes and soon moved on to Pitney Bowes as a sales executive. His experience with Pitney Bowes and other Fortune 500 companies, like G&K Services and ABM, became invaluable. He developed the skills to determine his customers' needs and learned how to meet those needs with real solutions.
Outside of the office, Chris spent hours volunteering for his community and local churches. He developed and maintained youth and adult music programs and coordinated volunteers. This love of service and helping others brought Chris to Seniors in Service as the Pasco County Retired & Senior Volunteer Coordinator and Liason in 2019. He quickly grew and moved on to become the Programs Director in 2020.
