From Gridiron to Boardroom with Kofi Boateng

Welcome back to Coffee with Convery, where we caffeinate your curiosity with bold stories, real conversations, and fresh perspectives on how you define success - in work and in life.

Today’s guest represents something I love spotlighting on this show: drive without entitlement, ambition with humility, and discipline with heart.

Kofi Boateng is a second-year Commerce student-athlete atMcMaster University’s DeGroote School of Business, a Defensive Lineman for the McMaster Marauders, a former Commercial Banking Analyst Intern at BMO, an award-winning entrepreneur, and a young leader who’s already built impact across finance, community, and business.

From founding a lawn care company that served seniors and earned youth entrepreneur awards…to interning at BMO and KPMG…to leading corporate relations for Black in Business and representing firms like ICON Talent Partners and KPMG on campus…

Kofi’s story isn’t about having it all figured out - it’sabout showing up, stacking reps, and building optionality early.
