As co-owner and current president of Brand Fuel, Robert Fiveash is responsible for overseeing a wide range of company functions. In addition to managing the company’s Virginia location, he utilizes his extensive academic and professional financial expertise to further Brand Fuel’s growth and secure its position as a leader in the industry. Fiveash is a member of ASI’s Advisory Board, the board of Mid Atlantic Promotional Products Association (MAPPA), and Advantage Magazine’s editorial advisory board

Before he and Rosin co-founded Brand Fuel in 1998, Fiveash spent four years honing his financial skills and business insight as a stockbroker at A.G. Edwards and Sons’ Norfolk, Virginia, office.

And, as the host of Public Radio’s 6:30am daily “Pre-Opening Stock Market Report,” Fiveash provided market commentary and daily economic news updates to the community.

Fiveash earned his MBA from The College of William and Mary in 1998 with a concentration in finance and marketing. His interests include running, canoeing, skiing, and seeing live music. He is also a supporter and board member of The Virginia Zoo, and enjoys spending time with his wife Amy, and two girls, Grayson (8) and Anne Burns (7).
