Rob Davis, a new inductee into Marquis Who’s Who, is an individual who has demonstrated integrity and high ideals throughout his career in financial services and in his current roles as CEO of RD Creative Group LLC and Chairman Emeritus of Help for Children (HFC) www.HFC.org. In the Fall of 1998, he started HFC with the mission of preventing child abuse and providing treatment to those who have been victimized. Since its inception, HFC has donated over $63 million via more than 1,500 grants to organizations devoted to saving children from the trauma of abuse.
To maximize impact in each branch location, Mr. Davis forged special relationships with leading universities offering majors in social work to assist HFC in identifying effective programs to fund in each branch location and report on results. These relationships were groundbreaking and have served as an invaluable source of data about the effectiveness of HFC’s efforts.
Following a 50-year career in financial services with firms including Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Oppenheimer and McAlinden Research Partners, Mr. Davis continues to contribute as the author of “What Goes Around Comes Around – A Guide to How Life REALLY Works” and “Thoughts to Live By – Meditations That Heal,” both on Amazon, with more on the way.
Mr. Davis’s plans also include speaking engagements on the subject of protecting children from the trauma of child abuse and neglect, with effects that may last a lifetime. It is a subject on which he is an authority from both his unfortunate personal experience as a 10-year-old victim, as reported in the Metropolitan section of the August 11, 2024, Sunday New York Times article, titled “To Confront His Ghost, He Took His Secret To Court,” and as the founder of a charity that, for 25 years, has provided lifesaving help to many thousands of children.
Mr. Davis has helped raise seven children in addition to his nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Looking forward, he hopes to assist HFC’s continued growth in saving children from the trauma of abuse, stay in top physical shape, and continue adding videos and tracks to www.youtube.com/robdavismusic and www.robdavismusic.bandcamp.com. His endeavors can be followed at www.robdavis.com.
