Rob DeRocker, President of Rob DeRocker & Associates, is an economic development marketing consultant based in Tarrytown, NY and St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands with more than a quarter century’s worth of experience in the field.  
Before starting his own practice, Rob served on the staff at Development Counselors International, a Manhattan-based marketing and public relations firm specializing in economic development and tourism. Starting in 1990 as an account executive, Rob advanced to become the firm’s executive vice president and part owner.  He headed up the firm’s media relations activities, helping to solidify DCI’s equity among the national and international business press.  Rob also served a pivotal role in enhancing relationships with the nation’s top site selection consultants, professionals that advise companies on their expansions and relocations.

Rob, whose grandfather owned a home on St. Croix from the time Rob was 15, has been visiting the island for decades.  He and his wife, Melinda, purchased that home in 2004 and now Rob works from there “as much as I can get away with” when it’s winter in New York.
