OUR TESTIMONIAL
Company Testimonials that inspire you
Roberto has been a significant catalyst in expanding my professional reach and elevating the impact of my brand. His introductions consistently place me in rooms filled with influential leaders, decision-makers, and high-value opportunities. Because of his access and credibility, doors that typically require years of relationship-building opened almost immediately. His influence extends far beyond a simple introduction, he advocates, aligns, and positions you for success in circles that truly matter. Roberto’s support has directly contributed to increased visibility, new business opportunities, and meaningful partnerships that have strengthened the overall trajectory of my company.
For leaders looking to grow their presence in Tampa Bay, the key is to build genuine relationships, stay visible within the community, and stay aligned with individuals who are already shaping the region’s growth. Tampa Bay thrives on collaboration, authenticity, and high-impact connection.
Roberto accelerates this process in a way very few people can. He has a unique ability to connect leaders not just to opportunities, but to the right opportunities, the ones that align with your mission, elevate your brand, and expand your influence. His network spans business, media, culture, and community leadership, making him a strategic bridge for anyone aiming to establish or scale their footprint in Tampa Bay. Based on my experience, Roberto can help others accelerate their growth by opening the right doors, offering guidance through local business landscapes, and positioning individuals to become part of the region’s forward-moving momentum.

CEO FomoChefs
Roberto is an exceptional professional whose expertise, connections, and reputation truly set him apart. His strategic introductions and access have directly moved my business forward in ways that would have been impossible on my own. Time and time again, he has opened doors to high-value relationships, key decision-makers, and opportunities that materially accelerated our growth. His guidance has saved me many times — often at critical moments — and his influence consistently puts you in the rooms where real progress happens.
For leaders looking to grow their footprint in Tampa Bay, my advice is simple: connect with Roberto as early as possible. He understands this market at a level few people do, and he knows exactly how to position you, who to introduce you to, and what moves will create the most momentum. His professionalism, integrity, and deep experience make him a true force multiplier.
Working with Roberto isn’t just beneficial — it’s transformational. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to fast-track their business, expand their influence, or navigate Tampa Bay’s ecosystem with confidence and clarity. His reputation genuinely precedes him, and after experiencing his impact firsthand, it’s clear why.
Erik Maltais
CEO Immertec
Since partnering with Roberto and the Tampa Business Club for our Third Thursdays event, we’ve been able to reach, connect with, and impact individuals and businesses that were previously beyond our reach. The results have been incredible- so much so that even saying “We did it again” no longer captures the momentum we’re building.
The advice I would give to any leader looking to expand their footprint in Tampa Bay is this: be intentional about getting into the right rooms, at the right events, with the most diverse and dynamic people. Roberto is that guy when it comes to strategic positioning. His following is loyal, engaged, and consistently seeking opportunities to elevate their experience.
Mike Smith
SVP Fifth Third Bank
I met Roberto at my lounge bar in Tampa, where he introduced himself as the Principal of Tampa Business Club. From the start, I was impressed by his drive, his vision, and his genuine dedication to connecting people. My wife and I have now been members for approximately three years.
During this time, Roberto and the Tampa Business Club have organized numerous events for us, bringing in valuable customers who have supported our business and our vision. Through the club, we’ve met many like-minded individuals with real aspirations and goals, creating a network that continues to inspire and motivate us.
We’ve also been granted access to exclusive venues and private events sponsored by the Tampa Business Club. These opportunities have helped our business grow significantly in a short period of time.
Roberto’s exceptional ability to connect people and host high-profile events has opened doors we never expected. If you’re launching a business—or already running one—I highly recommend Roberto and his team. Their hands-on approach, strategic introductions, and powerful events can truly accelerate your business.
Through his media presence and curated gatherings, you’ll gain access to a wide audience across Tampa, along with personal introductions to many high-profile individuals—business leaders, athletes, and well-known celebrities.
I wholeheartedly recommend Roberto and his marketing expertise to anyone looking to elevate and accelerate their business.
Harry/Lee
CEO Sterling Cigar Lounge
Roberto has been one of those rare people who doesn’t just introduce you to someone, he introduces you to the right someone. Every time he’s made a connection for me, it’s come with intention, alignment, and a genuine understanding of our mission to create digital opportunities for everybody in our community.
He opened doors I didn’t even know existed, and he did it in a way that felt natural, not transactional. He’s helped us accelerate relationships that matter, and in this work, that’s everything.
My advice for leaders coming into Tampa Bay is simple:
Show up with genuine intent, stay curious, and invest in relationships before you need them.
This is a community that opens up beautifully when people can feel your purpose.
Roberto is a perfect example of that. He accelerated our journey by helping us understand who the key players are, what they care about, and how our mission resonated with them.
For anyone trying to grow their footprint here, Roberto helps shorten the distance between where you are and where you’re trying to go. He has a gift for matching vision with opportunity. And when someone like him believes in what you’re doing, the whole city starts to pay attention.
Tony Selvaggio
CEO E-Smart Recycle
Roberto was the mastermind behind my success! I started my lawyer referral business in 2010. By 2014 I was still trying to figure things out until one day, Roberto came to me and told me: “Ita, people call ITA when they need a lawyer. They don’t call your business. They don’t even care or know the name of your business. Change your call to action to CALL ITA! Repeat that over and over and you’ll see how your business will grow
I followed his advice and my business has grown tremendously thanks to that one strategy! Over the years thanks to his contacts in the community, his knowledge of our market and the need of the consumers, he has put me in contact with many key people that have helped me continue to grow. Roberto is a great connector, a motivator, always ready to give a positive feedback and advice.
If you own a business, you MUST connect with Roberto. Pick his brain. Attend his many successful business expos and business networking events. Follow his advice and his lead. The longer you wait to do that, the more you’ll continue to delay your own business success! Thank you Robert for helping me grow my CALL ITA business!
Itamar Martinez
CEO Free Attorney Referrals
Roberto’s Network has Provided instant access to some incredible connections which has helped me with showcasing our brand.
The art of an invitation: Time is valuable. Take the time to invite guests to explore our world, experience our community, and gain insight into who we are personally. When someone accepts that invitation and makes time to meet with you and visit our establishments, it’s a strong sign of respect and genuine interest.
