Al Trujillo, AE 81, assumed the role of president and CEO of the Georgia Tech Foundation in July. The Foundation manages the private gifts that provide financial support to the Institute through student scholarships, facilities funding and other investments. The Foundation contributed to projects such as Technology Square, the Campus Recreation Center and the new Engineered Biosystems building. Trujillo previously served as a trustee of the Foundation and as chair of the Alumni Association Board of Trustees. He has served Tech on a variety of committees and initiatives, including the College of Engineering Advisory Board, the Georgia Tech Arts Advisory Board and the Council of Outstanding Young Engineers. Most recently, he served as a member of the search committee for Tech’s athletic director. Until 2007, Trujillo served as CEO of Recall Corporation and spearheaded the creation of a leading global service organization of more than 5,000 team members, with operations in 23 countries across five continents.
Trujillo emigrated from Cuba as an infant and grew up in South Florida. He completed his graduate engineering education and MBA at Stanford University. “I am honored to have been selected for this responsibility,” Trujillo said. “I have a deep sense of commitment to Georgia Tech, a school that has provided me with opportunities to excel and the foundation of my educational experience.”
