Strategos Group has announced the appointment of Gregory Haile, J.D., as a partner to lead its new Higher Education and Workforce Advisory practice. With a distinctive blend of experience at the crossroads of higher education and entrepreneurship, Haile currently serves at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta and holds a senior fellowship at the Harvard Kennedy School. He has also chaired more than a dozen boards. Haile is widely recognized for his outstanding tenure as president of Broward College, where his leadership propelled the institution to a top-10 ranking from the Aspen Institute out of over 1,000 colleges.
In his new position, Haile will spearhead Strategos Group’s initiatives to advise private sector companies on economic mobility, workforce development, and the integration of AI technologies. He will also support higher education institutions in their quest for innovation.
“I’m honored to join Strategos Group and collaborate with such an accomplished team,” Haile said. “Higher education and workforce development are at a pivotal moment, and I look forward to leading the nexus of private business and higher education institutions across the country. Together, we will help shape the future of education and workforce development, and drive alignment between business and higher education like never before.”
Strategos Group Managing Partner Adam Giery said, “Our vision was to curate an organization of leaders representing Pre-K to higher education. Greg’s arrival completes this milestone, signifies our belief in the evolving higher education ecosystem, and solidifies our ability to support a cornerstone of the American education system. Greg is a tenured leader of incredible acumen, intelligence, and commitment to the value of education’s impact on economic mobility and workforce development. We thank Greg and his family for their trust in our vision.”
At Broward College, Haile earned recognition as one of the top five community college CEOs by the American Association of Community Colleges. His leadership not only brought in the largest grant and gift in the college’s history but also set a national benchmark for engaging low-income communities effectively.
In addition to his role at Broward College, Haile serves on the boards of several organizations, including Achieving the Dream, BBX Capital, the Everglades Foundation, and Poetry in America.
Stuart Miller, Executive Chair and Co-CEO of Lennar Corporation praised Haile’s ability to lead change, saying, “Those of us at Lennar who have worked with Greg have found his commitment to driving change in higher education to support workforce development has been outstanding. His ability to innovate, lead, and connect with people across sectors makes him a very valuable asset. We have no doubt that he will bring that same excellence to Strategos Group and their clients.”
Arizona State University President Dr. Michael Crowe said, “Gregory Haile’s exemplary leadership and deep commitment to advancing education and societal progress make him a tremendous asset. His track record, coupled with his unique perspective, aligns fantastically with the values of innovation and impact that ASU upholds. We are excited to see all that Greg will undoubtedly lead at the intersection of business and higher education.”
