A Conversation with Kwame Owusu-Kesse

On this episode of It’s Not Magic, Sixth Street Co-Founder and Co-President, David Stiepleman sat down with Kwame Owusu-Kesse, CEO of Harlem Children's Zone (HCZ), for a conversation on transformative business leadership and operational standards.

Kwame shares powerful insights into redefining HCZ as a "tax-exempt business" and emphasizes the importance of building a culture of excellence. From their transformative cradle-to-career model to innovative programs like Baby College, HCZ is working to create what Kwame calls the "vaccine to poverty."

Discover how intentional decision-making, transparent communication, and talent development drive success—not just for HCZ, but for any high-performing organization.

Thank you to Kwame for the important and timely discussion.
