A versatile strategist, businessman, and transformational leader, Telley Madina embodies the true spirit of service to others. After graduation from Loyola University, he served for over 20 years on behalf of the people of New Orleans and the State of Louisiana as a lobbyist; advocating for and developing policy that benefits those in marginalized communities. Today, Mr. Madina leads The Madina Group Consulting, a national, multi-disciplinary lobbying and project management firm, while continuing to champion the efforts of African-American businesses at home. He hopes his work will inspire his own children to one day return to New Orleans after college, take over his business, and continue his work for the next generation.
