Founder
1945-2018
Alliance of Professionals & Consultants, Inc. (APC) was founded in 1993 by Roy Roberts after he retired from IBM. Today, APC remains committed to the same core values that Roy first put forth and that continue to anchor the company’s success – solid ethics, unwavering integrity, open communications, empathic caring, and a constant focus on quality and excellence.
Roy spent the majority of his career with the IBM Corporation from 1968 until 1993, when he left to start Alliance of Professionals & Consultants, Inc. He firmly believed in APC’s vision of positively impacting people’s lives which lead to growing APC to over 700 professionals during his lifetime. In addition to running APC, he supported economic development training for the Lumbee and Cherokee Nations which led to the founding of the American Indian Chamber of Commerce of North Carolina.
A lifelong learner, Roy earned a BS from Brescia University, an MBA from Butler University and a PhD-equivalent from IBM’s Systems Research Institute. In 2018, Roy and his wife, Vicki, furthered their commitment to education with the establishment of the Roy and Victoria Duffy Roberts Center for the Sciences at Brescia University.
Active in a variety of Native American-minded business organizations, Roy served on the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Advisory Council on Minority Business Enterprise, on the Board of Trustees of Brescia University, was President of the American Indian Chamber of Commerce of North Carolina, and served as a mentor to several minority entrepreneurs. He was selected as 2012 Southern Business Leader of the Year and 2009 Triangle Business Leader of the Year by Business Leader Media, and received the President’s Volunteer Service Award from the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation.
APC has been recognized by Fortune, Forbes, Inc. 500, and has won numerous awards, such as the 2016 Minority Professional Services Firm of the Year and 2008-2009 National Minority Service Firm of the Year by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce and the 2007-2008 Supplier of the Year by the CVMSDC.
