Roger H. Brown brings a rich array of professional and life experiences to his job. Skills accrued playing recording sessions as a drummer in New York, administering United Nations humanitarian operations in Southeast Asia and Africa, and founding a company with his wife that now employs 22,000 people and serves more than 80,000 families have contributed to his effective leadership at the world’s largest college of contemporary music.
In 1986 Brown and wife Linda Mason launched Bright Horizons, now the largest worldwide provider of worksite child care and early education. Bright Horizons operates more than 750 high-quality child development centers for employers in 45 states, Europe, and India.
After 16 years of successfully leading Bright Horizons, Brown decided to turn his sights to higher education and accepted the position as Berklee’s third chief executive.
In 2007, Brown launched Giant Steps, Berklee’s first capital campaign, and the college raised more than $50 million. He has overseen the expansion of the City Music Program beyond Boston in an effort to provide educational opportunities for talented but economically disadvantaged urban youth. The program now has partners in cities across America. As well, Brown has led Berklee to adopt a more selective admissions policy that requires an interview and audition for all applicants to the college. Along with that effort, Brown oversaw the creation of a new advising program to support all entering students.
Brown has helped the college enhance the student experience by establishing semester-abroad programs and by expanding the Boston campus through real estate acquisitions and the construction of a 16-story facility on Massachusetts Avenue.
