Kenneth E. Coleman is the new president and CEO of the Birmingham Business Alliance (BBA), the first African American to lead the region’s leading economic development organization.

“I am excited to lead the Birmingham Business Alliance at such a pivotal time,” Coleman said. “The partnerships we strengthen, the jobs we help create and the support we provide to all businesses moving forward will shape Birmingham’s future as a leading metropolitan area. I look forward to working closely with the public and private sector – old friends and new – to make that happen.”

Coleman is currently interim president and CEO for the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce in metro Atlanta. His 25-year, senior-executive career – mostly with Southern Company and its subsidiaries Georgia Power, Alabama Power, Mississippi Power and Southern Company Gas – has yielded significant accomplishments in stakeholder engagement, regulatory and legislative affairs, public policy, brand identity and economic development.
