Gershom Lobbo

Director of Advancement

Gershom Lobbo's leadership experience spans more than 10 years across a wide range of industries. He joined the Trulaske College of Business from Cornerstone Corporation in St. Louis, where he served as director of development and donor relations. In that role, he coordinated core capacity-building efforts, supported volunteer engagement and developed a fundraising strategy focused on cultivating relationships with donors and partners.

Lobbo was born in Liberia, West Africa, and moved to Lexington, Kentucky, because of political unrest and civil war. Growing up in the United States taught him the importance of place-making and the value of home. He holds a bachelor of arts in political science with a concentration in social work from Northern Kentucky University and is a world-class soccer player who passionately serves young people as a coach and instructor in his free time.
