PHILADELPHIA (October 27, 2025) – Today, OIC of America—a national nonprofit building the country’s only nationwide skills-training network—announced the appointment of Robert Deutsch, Bonita Lucky and Kathy Tunheim to the organization’s Board of Directors.
Mr. Deutsch is a seasoned financial services executive and former managing director with more than 30 years of experience in trading, equity derivatives, and risk management at CIBC, Nomura, and Kidder Peabody.
Ms. Lucky leads C.H. Robinson’s diversity, equity and inclusion strategy, driving progress toward a more inclusive culture and building a workforce that reflects a wide range of perspectives and experiences.
Ms. Tunheim co-founded Tunheim in 1990 and has served as chief executive officer throughout the firm’s evolution while maintaining an active role in many of the agency’s client relationships.
“We feel tremendously fortunate to bring Robert’s, Bonita’s and Kathy’s respective expertise onto the OIC of America Board at this pivotal moment in the organization’s growth and the build-out of our national workforce development system,” said Louis J. King II, OIC of America’s president and CEO. “With the addition of these three leaders in their fields, we expect to turbo-charge our efforts to train 100,000 people a year by 2030.”
Deutsch has built and led multi-strategy proprietary trading businesses, overseeing $12 billion in balance sheet assets and managing teams of 70 professionals. His expertise spans algorithmic trading, equity arbitrage, infrastructure development, and regulatory compliance.
Since joining C.H. Robinson in 2016 as a human resources leader, Lucky has championed employee empowerment and co-founded the B.L.A.C.K. (Building Leaders Accelerating Cultural Knowledge) Employee Resource Group. With a proven track record in HR leadership at global organizations including Cargill, FedEx, Ford, CSX Transportation, and Westinghouse Savannah River, Ms. Lucky brings deep expertise in people development and organizational culture.
Tunheim gained experiences in both the corporate world, including as vice president for public relations and internal communications at Honeywell, and the political arena, which profoundly shaped her approach to creating value as an agency counselor. Collectively, these experiences have caused her to be particularly intrigued by the challenges of helping clients navigate the intersections of business, public policy and the media.
