Posted Jan 11, 2019
Before he was the CEO of Habitat for Humanity, Jonathan Reckford was a political science student in UNC’s College of Arts & Sciences. A Morehead-Cain Scholar, he graduated in 1984 with a world of opportunities ahead of him, but his road to becoming a C-suite executive was anything but predictable. Reckford started his career on Wall Street in corporate finance.
