Alo Coleman, LMU Class of 2019, is fascinated by the potential of human connection. That perspective shapes who he is professionally, he says: “My creativity, results-driven performance, and passion for people compliment my work ethic allowing me to add value to every interaction I make in the most collaborative, inclusive, and effective ways possible.” After graduating, Alo has received a business credential through Harvard Business School HBX CORe program and began work as a consultant and business development manager for Vincent Benjamin, a consulting and staffing firm.
