Kip Bordelon is the Founder and Director of Operations at The Picardy Group, a Chicago-based consulting company. He established the business in an effort to work closely with companies and organizations, both public and private, to promote and encourage diversity and multiculturalism. His passion for diversity was cemented more than 25 years ago when he arrived in Groton, Massachusetts on the campus of Lawrence Academy, an independent boarding school, from the South Side of Chicago.
After completing 4 years at Lawrence Academy, Mr. Bordelon returned home to attend the University of Illinois at Chicago for both undergraduate and graduate school. There, he studied civil rights, civil liberties, Constitutional Law, and politics and earned a master’s degree in public policy with an emphasis on urban economic and community development.
A self-described “unapologetic and stubborn” fan of 90’s R&B and Hip-Hop music, Mr. Bordelon is a professional basketball junkie and lives in Chicago with his 13-year-old son, Asa, who is Kip’s “heartbeat and hero.” Please join me in welcoming back to the Teen Area Workday Cluster Mr. Kip Bordelon.
