While many entrepreneurs measure the success of their business with profit or revenue, Chris Bingham ’91 ’09 (EMBA), founder of Riley Life Logistics, prioritizes the well-being of his employees over everything else.
Riley Life’s — a for-profit company dedicated to a positive impact on its workers, the community, society and the environment — holistic approach to fulfillment services is evident in the company’s status as a certified B Corporation. Currently there are fewer than 2,500 certified B Corporations in the U.S.
Bingham’s inspiration for the Riley Life came when he enrolled in the Evening MBA Program at UNC Kenan-Flagler to climb the corporate ladder, but soon discovered that his talents could be used elsewhere.
“I’m a bit of a dreamer,” says Bingham. “I saw an opportunity and created a vision around that opportunity, and I think a lot of that confidence, at least the spark to that, did come from UNC Kenan-Flagler, and it came from the people around me at UNC Kenan-Flagler.”
