ADVISORY BOARD GROW WITH US Corey Crapella ‘07 Founder & Principal Consultant, CORE Coaching & Consulting As a valued member of the College of Business Advisory Board, Corey Crapella brings a wealth of experience in leadership, coaching, and people strategy to KU. Corey lives in Chester County, PA, where he runs CORE Coaching & Consulting, a business he built to merge his passions for leadership development and organizational strategy. His career path has been anything but linear — from sales to HR to leadership roles — but he sees every step as preparing him for entrepreneurship and for contributing to KU’s future. “The College of Business gave me the foundation and confidence I needed to thrive,” Corey reflects. “I came in thinking I’d be a teacher, but KU helped me discover my love for organizational leadership.” He is proud to balance professional fulfillment with family life, raising his two daughters with his wife, whom he met at KU. He also brings that balance and perspective to his work on the Advisory Board, encouraging today’s students to embrace authenticity and curiosity. His advice to KU business students: “Success isn’t about fitting into someone else’s mold; it’s about boldly owning who you are. Your career doesn’t have to follow a straight line — stay curious, trust your values, and show up unapologetically as you.” The College is fortunate to benefit from Corey’s leadership and insights as he helps guide the next generation of business leaders. 10
