WHAT’S NEW
In December 2018, Ally launched a collaboration with entertainer and entrepreneur Sean “Big Sean” Anderson and the Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) to create Moguls in the Making, a competition to prepare and empower young black entrepreneurs.
Moguls in the Making aligns with Ally’s support of economic mobility for all and the goal of helping residents of underserved communities gain tools to enhance their career opportunities and financial trajectory. It is proof of Ally’s commitment to diversity and inclusion, and a work environment where all backgrounds, experiences, interests, and skills are respected, appreciated and encouraged.
Out of more than 500 applicants, Ally and TMCF selected 50 students from 10 Historically Black Colleges and Universities to compete in the weekend-long challenge. In addition to hearing from Ally CEO Jeff Brown, the students participated in mentoring sessions, heard from local business leaders, and attended a financial education class. During the competition, they developed business plans that included solutions to economic issues facing various industries in Detroit. Divided into groups of five, the students pitched their solutions to a panel of judges including Sean ‘Big Sean’ Anderson, entertainer and founder of The Sean Anderson Foundation; Andrea Brimmer, Ally chief marketing and public relations officer; Tommey Walker, principal of Detroit vs. Everybody; and George Spencer, executive vice president of business development, Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the Thurgood Marshall College Fund.
The team from Florida A&M University was selected as the winner of Moguls in the Making. Their winning idea was developed to address the finance and banking needs of small businesses in Detroit. Ally’s CEO Jeffrey Brown was so impressed with all of the young Moguls, that he extended the ability to apply for an internship to, not only the members of the winning team but to every participant. Ally is expecting up to 15 students from the competition to accept internship positions this summer.
