Communication Service for the Deaf recently announced the promotion of Bobby Siebert to Chief Administrative Officer. As Chief Administrative Officer, Siebert will lead CSD’s planning, compliance, technology and creative teams, serving a key role in guiding the organization’s strategic operations and continued innovation in advancing opportunities for Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities. His promotion is effective immediately.
“For more than a decade Bobby has been a valued member of the CSD team, not only demonstrating an unwavering commitment to our mission but making significant business contributions to advance our work,” said Chris Soukup, CEO of CSD. “Bobby brings deep executive experience to this new role and, importantly, he is a respected and trusted leader. I am delighted to share his promotion and am more than confident that Bobby will continue to make a significant impact on CSD’s continued important work.”
Siebert first joined CSD in 2015 in fundraising where he helped secure more than USD 1 million to support CSD’s community programs. Over the years, his responsibilities expanded significantly as he assumed multiple leadership roles focused on contracts, compliance, ethics and organizational risk management. After serving as CSD’s Contracts and Compliance Director, Siebert earned a promotion to Vice President of Contracts and Compliance, a position he held since 2022. He is a Certified Compliance & Ethics Professional (CCEP).
In 2025, Siebert was honored with the prestigious CSD Founder’s Award during the organization’s 50th anniversary gala to recognize his outstanding contributions and leadership.
“CSD has played an important role in my both my career and my life and I am deeply honored to step into this new position,” said Siebert. “I look forward to continuing to work alongside our talented teams to strengthen CSD’s leadership and impact, especially our work to create more opportunities and a more inclusive future for Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities.”
Prior to CSD, Siebert earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a Master of Public Administration from Gallaudet University.
