Tres Roeder
Tres Roeder (born March 28, 1968) is an American businessman, Amazon Bestselling author, and city politician based in Cleveland, Ohio.[1][2][3] During his career as a strategy consultant and professional project manager with the Project Management Professional (PMP) designation, Roeder has written two books on project stakeholder management[4] and served two consecutive terms on the city council of Shaker Heights, Ohio, an eastern suburb of Cleveland.[5] Because of his contributions to the project management industry, Roeder has been cited in publications such as The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
Early life and education[edit]
Born in the city of Silver Springs, Maryland, Roeder moved around the United States multiple times throughout his youth; his father, George Roeder, was an author and professor whose career necessitated a number of relocations throughout Tres' childhood. He spent 9 years of his childhood in Madison, Wisconsin and three in Columbia, Missouri before moving to Evanston, Illinois and graduating from Evanston Township High School. After graduation, Roeder enrolled in the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign where he would study economics while simultaneously studying for two years at the university's institute of aviation. He graduated from the University of Illinois in 1991 with a BA in Economics and licensed as a Certified Flight Instructor - Instrument (CFII)[6].
Roeder would later return to school in order to pursue an MBA from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management which he received in 2000. While in attendance he travelled to China and South Africa via the Kellogg Global Initiatives in Management Courses program, and also served as president of Student Government and the Consulting Club.
Career[edit]
Moving initially to Torrance, California (and subsequently to Denver, Colorado) to take a job with Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Roeder spent his first years out of college working for the automotive manufacturer in their Sales & Marketing division. He would accept a position at Wallace Computer Services (now R.R. Donnelly) in 1993 where he managed a sales team and an operations team at their Chicago production plant. Roeder moved in 2000 to Cleveland, Ohio where he worked as a management consultant with Booz Allen Hamilton.
He stayed with Booz Allen Hamilton for two years before leaving in 2001 to found his own project management consulting firm, Roeder Consulting. After laying the groundwork for this business he put its development on pause, spending two years working at American Greetings before returning to his own organization. Since 2003, Roeder has served as the president of Roeder Consulting as well as a project management professional for the firm.
Politics[edit]
Election and first term[edit]
A registered member of the Democratic party, Roeder was first elected to the Shaker Heights City Council in 2013 for a four-year term. During his campaign, his platform included the development of a new teen center in Shaker Heights as well as a greater effort for financial sustainability throughout the city.
During his first term on the council, Roeder served as chairman of the 21st Century Government Taskforce and was a member of the Safety & Public Works and Finance Committees. He also oversaw the establishment of "The Getaway," Shaker's only teen center,[7] outsourced Shaker's jails to the nearby city of Solon, Ohio in an effort to free up funds and allow the Shaker Heights Police Department to focus on direct crime prevention work, and advocated for the passing of Shaker's Freedom City Resolution. Roeder also opposed a proposed property tax increase for the Shaker Heights library.[8]
Second term[edit]
After being reelected to the Shaker Heights City Council for a second four-year term in 2017, Roeder joined Shaker's Building, Housing, & Technology Committee as well as its Marketing & Communications Committee and became chair of the Recreation Committee. He also currently serves as the Vice President of Northeast Ohio's City Council Association.
