David Roberts
Founder & CEO, ReVerb
Creative, goal-achieving professional with the ability to direct all facets of business and product marketing initiatives and strategies across the global sector.
“From a classroom in Kazakhstan to four companies on three continents — one consistent philosophy: find a way, or make one.”
Not many marketing agency founders can trace their career to teaching chemistry to teenagers in rural Central Asia, but David Roberts isn’t a typical founder.
In 2002, fresh out of college, Roberts joined the U.S. Peace Corps and spent two years in Kazakhstan — teaching ecology, chemistry, and English to over 300 students, co-writing grants, and securing corporate sponsorships for community projects, including a greenhouse at a local orphanage that continued feeding children long after he left. It was his first lesson in what he’d later call his defining philosophy: find a way, or make one.
That hands-on pragmatism has followed Roberts across 50+ countries and four companies. After earning an MBA in International Business and Marketing and founding The Other Side of the Tracks — a global consultancy that served clients across Russia, Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and Latin America for nearly a decade — he launched ReVerb in 2018. Within a year, the agency had climbed to #18 on Clutch’s global ranking of content marketing agencies, a milestone that typically takes firms years longer to reach.
Today, Roberts operates four active businesses simultaneously from Costa Rica: ReVerb, his flagship award-winning marketing agency specializing in Web3 and tech companies; HighFlyers, a Web3 marketing studio; Fast Onward Tickets, a travel tool that generates instant flight confirmations for visa applications and digital nomads; and MyInvoiceGenerator, a no-friction invoicing tool for freelancers and small businesses worldwide.
What distinguishes him in a crowded industry is rare: professional fluency in Russian and Spanish earned through years of living and working on the ground, not in a classroom — combined with the operational discipline of someone who has built and run teams across multiple continents for over two decades.
An Eagle Scout, father of five, and 22-year husband, Roberts brings the same structured, mission-driven approach to his personal life that built his businesses. Whether securing a grant for an orphanage in Kazakhstan or scaling a marketing agency to global recognition, the method has stayed consistent: show up, solve the real problem, and build something that outlasts you.
