Nate Hogan joined the Charlotte Regional Business Alliance in March 2023 as president of the CLT Alliance Foundation. As president, Hogan will lead the Foundation’s work to support entrepreneurs and employers with the goal of growing businesses and growing business leaders. For this work to be successful, Nate will leverage the talented team at the Foundation, working collaboratively with a broad range of community stakeholders (entrepreneurs and employers) and ensuring voices of those constituents most impacted by the work are at the table.
Professionally, Nate has 25 years of experience as an entrepreneur, intrapreneur and senior executive with proven success in defining strategic vision, providing transformational leadership, advocating for equity in urban public education, leading high-performing public and nonprofit boards and driving business growth in hyper-competitive markets.
Civically, Nate leads with authenticity and creates a shared, inclusive, organization-wide intent to establish an environment where stakeholders actively contribute, and the organization succeeds. As the president/board chair of the Kansas City Public School board, Nate leverages his personal life story as a mobile student of the district who grew up experiencing a lot of the same challenges as KCPS students to advocate for students and their families. Nate serves on the boards of the Missouri School Board Association and Kansas City Friends of Alvin Ailey and as a community advisor for KSHB-TV 41. Nate also founded the Hogan Family Scholarship Fund, providing scholarships for students traditionally left behind.
Personally, Nate is married to his best friend, Felecia Hogan and has two surviving sons, TJ (29) and Jaiden (23). On October 24, 2014, Nate’s oldest son Monty was killed in a senseless act of violence. Monty’s death was a defining moment in Nate’s life that continues to play an important role in how he engages with community and uses his voice on social justice issues.
