Segun Olagunju

Mr. Olagunju is a graduate of the Kenan-Flagler School of Business and the Leadership Development Program for BB&T, one of the ten largest bank holding groups in America. This along with his experience as a national fellow for Campus Crusade for Christ International have shaped in him a life-long commitment to practice value-focused, sustainable leadership. In his previous post, Mr. O, as he is often known on campus, executed the turn-around of Operation HOPE’s Banking on Our Future financial education program in Washington, DC -- a 300-person volunteer organization that now trains over 5,000 young people each year. While in D.C. he also helped found the Greater Washington Jump$tart Coalition a group devoted to the collaborative effort of making every young person in D.C. financially literate.

As Head of Leadership, Segun directs all the student-facing programs of the Leadership & Entrepreneurship curriculum.  He also relishes the privilege of teaching our future leaders. He is adept and skilled in his role as an educator in the field of leadership development. He brings to his work an appreciation and understanding of the experiential nature of learning leadership as well as the value of individual coaching. Drawing on his experience in the nonprofit sector as well as his business school education, Segun has helped solidify and advance the leadership curriculum to the 200 students at ALA.

Mr. O is driven to leverage his corporate and non-profit management experience to drive win-win relationships that improve the quality of life for as many as possible; this is accomplished by creating, communicating and executing purpose-driven strategies.
