October 18, 2026 

The potluck dinner will be held at the home of  Robert Hahn from 6pm to 9pm on Sunday, October 18, 2026. This event will feature a brief presentation by Craig Robinson and a potluck dinner and conversation will follow. 

For years, Craig Robinson has explored the intersection of professional ambition and personal happiness from a unique vantage point: the C-suite. As a seasoned corporate director and former CEO, he has navigated the pressures of the modern workplace while leading global teams toward success. It was while leading a division at WeWork—tasked with designing spaces that fostered happiness and community for clients ranging from Fortune 50 companies to celebrity home offices—that he began to codify the insights that form the foundation of his book, The Happiness Reboot: The Path to Reclaiming Your Joy (March 2026 release). He has since written several articles and been a regular speaker on the topic of fulfillment, leadership and innovation.

Craig's leadership experience spans roles as Chief Growth Officer for Industrious (now CBRE), CEO of Global Corporate Services at Newmark, and President of the U.S. Region at Colliers International Group Inc., where he oversaw over $1 billion in annual revenue. Today, he channels that expertise into his work as an executive coach, an adjunct professor at Emory Goizueta Business School, and a strategic advisor to growth companies and a private investment firm. He serves as an independent director for Draper & Kramer, Vast Coworking Company, Roofstock, and Second Nature and is a member of the Executive Committee of the Harvard Business School Alumni Board.

Craig earned his MBA from Harvard Business School and his BS from MIT. A founding member of the Leadership Now Project, where he advocates for fair democracies, he continues to explore how individuals can build fulfilling lives both in and out of the office.

Outside the boardroom, he finds joy in scuba diving, life coaching and the simple pleasures of everyday life—believing that happiness is not just a destination, but a practice.
