Urban Partnership Bank Senior Commercial Banker Jeffrey Wright spoke in an interview about his work on the Chicago’s Business Leadership Council’s emerging leaders group. The council’s mission is to create jobs, opportunities and leaders in the black community. Wright was born on Chicago’s West Side, where he was raised by a single mother on a fixed income. Now he has an undergraduate degree from Georgetown, an MBA from Northwestern’s Kellogg Business School and is a senior banker at Urban Partnership, where he is being groomed to be a future CEO. “I have direct access to really successful business leaders,” Wright said. “As I am making decisions and looking to improve my situation they are accessible and willing to help.”
