How to succeed
in business…
 ere’s
Greg Hughes’ ’90 three-point formula for success:
“Put God first, work hard and stay focused.”
This formula worked for Hughes, a sales account executive with the
National Broadcasting Company/WNBC, who was recognized as a “Black
Achiever in Industry” by the Harlem YMCA in New York. The award
celebrates professionals who are motivators and pace setters for
African-American youth.
Hughes sells advertising space for all on-air programming at WNBC
including championship sporting events like the Super Bowl, NBA
Playoffs, the French Open, Wimbledon and the World Series. He was
among 75 nominees nationwide to be honored for his outstanding achievements
as an African-American professional at a Fortune 500 company.
But Hughes doesn’t accept the award just as a recognition of
his accomplishments. He sees it as an encouragement for young black
men and women. “This award means [they] have an opportunity
to succeed,” said Hughes.
