Justin King is the founder of Tilapiana and a former corporate-finance-professional-turned-social-entrepreneur. Dissatisfied with corporate life despite its perks, King found purpose in social entrepreneurship after returning to BYU for an MBA. Inspired by the Ballard Center for Social Impact, he embraced the center's ethos of using business models to tackle social issues globally. King deepened his learning through the Peery Social Entrepreneurship Program, where he developed Tilapiana, a venture aimed at alleviating poverty in Ghana through sustainable fish farming. The program supports BYU students in similar pursuits, emphasizing innovation and social impact across disciplines.
