OUR FOUNDER

Cleophus (Cleo) P. Franklin Jr., a distinguished Houston-based entrepreneur and visionary, has left an indelible mark on the worlds of business and leadership development. As Founder and CEO of multiple ventures, an Adjunct Professor at the University of Houston-Downtown, and a globally recognized retired agricultural executive, Franklin’s over three decades of innovative leadership have driven start-ups, non-profits, and multinational corporations to unparalleled success.

Beyond his executive achievements, Franklin excels as a podcast host, motivational speaker, and author. He has penned three insightful books on leadership—”Coffee with Cleo,” “Lessons from our Mothers and Fathers,” and “Conversations with Cleo”—and co-authored a children’s book, “What do you see when you look at me?” with his son Michael J. Franklin, available at www.coffeewithcleo.com. His commitment to fostering the next generation of leaders is further demonstrated through the Franklin Leadership Foundation and Franklin Strategic Solutions, and in his role as Chief Marketing Officer at Laddering Your Success.

Dedicated to empowering young leaders, Franklin’s work is a beacon for those aspiring to drive change and achieve purposeful leadership. More information on his life’s work can be found on the Morningside University Website, where he is the founder of Franklin Leadership Foundation, showcasing Franklin’s career dedicated to creating a legacy of leadership and innovation.
