From humble beginnings, the fullness of civility was begotten. Mr. Browne was born at Kings County Hospital on January 29th 1986. Three years later he was sent to Jamaica to start his Pre School education in Neckleton Meadows, St. Catherine after which he was consigned to the south of the West Indies to start his Primary (elementary) School education at A’s Starting Point in the Spice Isle of Grenada.
Though poverty and violence abound in the rugged district of Jean Anglais, Belmont, St. George’s; a district where water and electricity were weekly luxuries, he attended one of the top primary, private schools in the country -A’s Stating Point, and then ascended to the top male High School in the land, the Grenada Boys Secondary School.
Mr. Browne spent the majority of his years in Grenada where he assisted his father in managing his father’s modest electronic business. Yet, Mr. Browne seeked to pursue his boyish dream to become a neurosurgeon which was deep- rooted in his consciousness since his primary school days.
Mr. Browne then attended Brooklyn College to pursue his undergraduate education, engaging in a tri-degree in Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics, after taken an average of 23 credits at the national college, T.A. Marryshow Community College.
Mr. Browne unexpectedly grew an indifference to the natural sciences and its utilitarianistic restrains and trailed the bounteous terrains of Business equipped with his analytically trained mind.
He currently sits on the Nation Dean’s List, and was formerly a participant of the Scholars Program in the Honors Academy at Brooklyn College. Mr. Browne is the Founder and former two –term President of the “Premier Student Organization at Brooklyn College,” the Business Leadership Society. Mr. Browne was also The Vice President and the nominated Treasurer of the Academic Club Association, which presides over all the academic clubs at Brooklyn College, and also is a member of the International Scholars Laureate Program, Delegation on Business; which represents the United States around the world. Mr. Browne is also a Golden Key Recipient, among many other prestigious honors.
Mr. Browne’s paradigm shift has enthused him to start many top initiatives at Brooklyn College. He has for the past two years coordinated the Annual World AIDS Day Initiative- Caribbean Initiative, celebrating its ninth year in existence. The “Caribbean Initiative” is expressed in the form of a Fashion Show/ Auction/ Dinner, showcasing high fashion apparel and upcoming trends, and for the second consecutive year under his leadership earnings grew over 150%. In addition, Mr. Browne has held the premier fundraiser event in 2008 at Brooklyn College, The Black Tie Affair Fundraiser, in an effort to pay tribute to minority students for their willpower to complete their post secondary education at Brooklyn College against severe odds while remaining in good academic standing. This event was held in the newly revitalized Student Center. Not shocking, Mr. Browne was a central part of the Dream Team, Students for Students, which consisted of a dozen of the brightest business minds at Brooklyn College; responsible for heading marketing development of the Student Center, a $ 1.4 million revitalization project.
After traveling to Switzerland in Fall 2009 representing the USA as a Benjamin A. Gilman Scholar on a Delegation of Swiss Business Law and Diplomacy, he again founded another initiative. Not merely via the typical philanthropic model of fundraising, but began creating a pipeline to increase cultural diversity. Mr. Browne embarked up re-energizing the Study-Abroad base at his alma mater; calling upon key administrative bodies to be patrons of global competence. He created the Brooklyn College & Benjamin A. Gilman: Global Leadership Initiative. As a result the Study Abroad Scholarship Association (SASA) was born, an initiative that is geared to fund his fellow students who are interested in studying abroad.
It was this fervor to awaken the character of Global Leadership, along with his record of excellence being a CUNY Pipeline Honors Fellow, and his unrivaled leadership record, as a CUNY Leadership Award Winner (2007-2008), that earned him the position of Treasurer of Student Government; undoubtedly creating his legacy at Brooklyn College.
Mr. Browne seeks to pursue a career in corporate mergers and acquisitions as he aspires to obtain is doctorate in Strategic Management with a concentration in Risk Management. In addition, he will also be attaining legal credentials, principally in Corporate Financial Transactions.
