Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis (BGCSTL) President and CEO Brandon Williams has officially joined the ranks of excellence — as the newest inductee into Hazelwood East Senior High School’s Hall of Fame. The induction took place during the school’s homecoming game on Friday, October 10, 2025, honoring distinguished alumni who have made outstanding contributions in their careers and communities.
A former NFL player turned executive leader, Williams’s career is as dynamic as it is impactful. Before joining BGCSTL, he served as a college and NFL analyst, financial advisor, author, and entrepreneur. With over 15 years of professional experience, Williams will mark his first anniversary leading BGCSTL this November.
“I am incredibly thankful for the opportunity to lead BGCSTL,” said Williams. “As a Mathews-Dickey Club kid myself, I know firsthand the life-changing impact of Boys & Girls Clubs. Now, it’s my mission to create an environment where our youth can grow, lead, and thrive.”
Williams earned his undergraduate degree in Communications from the University of Wisconsin and an MBA from Lindenwood University. He is also the author of Millionaire Mindset: 7 Principles Athletes Need for Financial Freedom, a guide to financial literacy and empowerment for athletes.
