Details

Navigating the Grey ("NTG") is an annual student-led ethics conference at Chicago Booth, born out of the Great Recession in recognition of our responsibilities as future leaders. Every year, we invite prominent representatives of the private and social sectors so that they can share with us pivotal moments in their lives, and the principles which underline their ability to lead with integrity and impact.

Our goal is to inspire audience members to define their own compass of values, and think consciously about how we will live out those values in the face of inevitable "grey areas" in our personal and professional lives. How will we not just survive these grey areas, but thrive in them?

Shundrawn Thomas ('99), a native of Chicago, is Founder and Managing Partner at The Copia Group, a private equity firm which provides capital solutions for lower middle market companies and drives social impact. Previously, he was the President and Chief Executive of Northern Trust Asset Management, a trillion-dollar global firm. He is an engaged civic leader serving on the boards of several non-profit organizations. He also serves his local community as associate pastor of his Church located on Chicago’s Southside. Shundrawn is happily married with two sons. He received his MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and BS from Florida A&M University.
