Corporate Leadership
Leroy Robinson, President and CEO
Leroy Robinson co-founded PARS-S with two main goals: to assist local business growth and provide a pathway for gainful employment for people ready for meaningful change, including those who come from a challenging background or who have a criminal history background.
Leroy started his career as a Chief Bailiff for the Marion County Courts, then became a public school History and Government teacher and school administrator. His career then took him into state government and public and community service, eventually leading to small business ownership.
His entrepreneurship endeavors led him to create Winthrop Tech, LLC. in 2016, focusing on education and business software development and solutions. Main services included small business consulting, retail and commercial sales, and staffing opportunities for a moderate and mid-skilled workforce.
Tia L. Coleman, Vice President of Operations
Tia L. Coleman is a co-founder of PARS-S, a philanthropist, and a national public speaker. She brings her experience as a business owner and her legal knowledge from her work as a Supervisor of the Prosecutor’s Office and her work as a paralegal.
Mr. Robinson and Ms. Coleman are also co-owners of the certified MBE, Winthrop, LLC, which was founded in 2016 and focuses on a variety of small business consulting, education software, IT, retail, and commercial sales and staffing opportunities. In co-founding PARS-S, they are both furthering their goals to foster growth for local businesses while providing a pathway for gainful employment for people who have a different skill set which may be based more on the work of event staffing, security, maintenance, or custodial work.
Helping others who are ready for meaningful change, including those who come from a challenging background or who have a criminal history background is a cause and a motivation for Ms. Coleman.
