An Afternoon with Rob Parker, president, Pinewood Forrest

Pinewood Forrest is a 236-acre innovative, mixed-use community under development adjacent to Pinewood Atlanta Studios.

He has worked closely with Fortune 500 CEOs, sports and entertainment figures, and foundation and government leaders. Parker previously served as CEO of Southern Ground, leading both the business and philanthropic efforts of three-time GRAMMY winning, multi-platinum artist, Zac Brown and the Zac Brown Band. Prior to joining the Southern Ground family, he served as a Chief Executive Officer with Kiwanis International, Ronald McDonald House Charities and Boys and Girls Clubs of America.
