Kwame Jackson is polished, confident and credentialed with prestigious Wall Street experience, a degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a Harvard M.B.A., and business lessons he learned from Donald Trump in front of 22 million people each week, on the hit show “The Apprentice.”

Although he was flattered to make both People magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful People and its 50 Hottest Bachelors list in 2004, Kwame is a businessman first!

His professional experience includes sales and marketing roles at Procter & Gamble and, most recently, on Wall Street as an Investment Manager for Goldman Sachs. It was his no nonsense attitude and ability to be a team leader that made him stand out on “The Apprentice” and it is his affable nature and street smarts that make him stand out in life.

Kwame Jackson is the highest paid and most in-demand speaker amongst those in reality television. He continues to be courted by major television networks, fashion houses, sports teams, marketers, advertisers, community, civic and political leaders for his input and expertise. He regularly addresses universities, aspiring entrepreneurs and executive management teams at the world’s leading companies on various topics such as leadership, team building, surviving while thriving in corporate America and the importance of being an entrepreneur.
