My mission is to enable cultures at work where people can learn, feel safe, and do their best work.
I'm the oldest child of two business owners who I saw care deeply for their customers, staff, and community.
My parents sacrificed so I could get a great education. I got a scholarship to attend the most expensive college in America. My mission is to make innovative education accessible. I've worked around the world to do this, including leading a UK STEM university, a tech training company serving 100,000 customers, and advising US universities on launching innovative education businesses.
I'm back in the US with my wife, Selamile, and our daughter, Nissi. I'm excited to use my global experience and network to improve workplaces here.
In my home life, I enjoy teaching my daughter to swim, traveling through books, and connecting with leaders about how their faith shapes their work.
