PIVOT Hires Former CEO of Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center to Lead Colorado Non-Profit

PIVOT, the Denver-based non-profit dedicated to improving the lives of Colorado’s youth, announced Madeleine “Mimi” Roberson will join as CEO this month.
 
“Mimi will take PIVOT to the next level by forging connections and funding collaboration between our state’s most impactful non-profits,” said Larry Mueller, founding trustee and treasurer of PIVOT. “Her superb strategic planning and proven results will guide PIVOT into the future.”
 
Founded in 2018 by John Elway, Larry Mueller, and George Solich, PIVOT recently collaborated with Kimbal Musk’s organization, Big Green, the DU Graduate School of Professional Psychology, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Colorado through its first series of grants totaling $279,800 in a pilot program benefiting the Girls Athletic Leadership School of Denver (GALS). The funding supported a new learning garden and nutrition program, in addition to mental wellness and mentoring programs at the Denver charter school.
 
Mimi Roberson brings over 30 years of leadership experience to PIVOT, including 15 years as President and CEO of Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center, where she opened Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children. Prior to that role, she served as the CEO of Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Louisiana and the Medical Center of Southwest Louisiana. Most recently, she managed her own consulting company, Roberson Consulting Group, providing services to physician groups, hospital systems and medical start-up companies.
 
An active philanthropist and volunteer, Mimi has served on a multitude of civic and philanthropic organizations including the Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, Metro Denver Leadership Foundation, Downtown Denver Partnership, Colorado Ethics in Business Alliance, BBVA Compass Bank, Federation of American Hospitals, March of Dimes, and There with Care, among others.
 
Governors Bill Ritter and John Hickenlooper appointed her to state boards and she has received several awards including the Athena Award from the Colorado Women’s Chamber of Commerce, Person of the Year from Ronald McDonald Charities, Woman of Distinction from Girl Scouts of America, Champion of Healthcare from Denver Business Journal, and Top 10 Health Care Leaders of 2011 Power Book of Denver Business Journal. She was also recognized by Becker’s Hospital Review over several years as one of the Top 50 Healthcare Leaders, Top 120 Women Hospital and Healthcare System Leaders to Know, and Top 300 Hospital and Health System Leaders to Know.
 
“I am thrilled to join PIVOT’s growing organization as we work to ensure a future where children and young adults are empowered to thrive,” said Roberson. “I truly believe that our community profits from the collective approach and I’m looking forward to maximizing investments in our state’s youth.”
