[Tex/LaTex] Remove page number of section heading page

Question

I am writing a report and want to have roman numerals numbering the pages prior to my Introduction section. I have the following:

\begin{document}

\pagenumbering{gobble}

\input{Chapters/titlePage}

\pagenumbering{roman}

\chapter*{\centering Executive Summary}
\input{Chapters/executiveSummary}

\newpage
\tableofcontents
\listoffigures
\listoftables

\chapter{Introduction} %I want the first page of my introduction chapter to
                       %count as page one of my document but not be displayed. 
                       %However, I would like to display the second page with 
                       %arabic numbering.
\input{Chapters/introduction}

The issue I have is I don't know how many lines in my LaTeX code will fit on the first page, so I can't just use

\pagenumbering{gobble}>
and then
\pagenumbering{arabic}>

One solution I have thought of is just putting the text in and figuring out how many lines are used before a new page is created, then implementing the page numbering there, but it seems that there must be an alternative that is modular.

Thanks!

Note: Document class is report.

You can use \thispagestyle{empty} right after the first \chapter command.

Here is the usage:

                \documentclass[]{report} 
                \usepackage{lipsum}
                \begin{document}
                \chapter{introduction}
                \thispagestyle{empty}
                \lipsum
                \end{document}

Which produces:

on the first page of the introduction, and:

from the second on
