AK Ikwuakor, also known as Coach AK, is a former professional athlete, entrepreneur, consultant and strategic storyteller who has traveled to 30+ countries working with students, professional athletes, coaches, governmental agencies, celebrities, CEO’s, employees of Fortune 100 companies, scholars, victims affected by terrorism and even community leaders from around the world through his entrepreneurial ventures. 

His endeavors have included work in sports diplomacy, storytelling, fashion, VR, global education as well as several others. He has led an unorthodox path which began by narrowly missing the 2008 Olympic games to working at top educational institutions such as Phillips Exeter Academy and St. Paul’s School, to now a founding a fashion company for athletes. 

AK has been featured in Sports Illustrated, Nike, Yurbuds, Women’s Health, Sony, Fox Sports, The Doctors, and Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? with his triplet brother. (Unfortunately, they were not smarter than a 5th Grader.)

AK is the Chief Strategy Officer at The Humanside and resides in Boston with his 6-year old daughter Haiven and partner, Yasmin.
