The Terry College of Business hosted its annual Alumni Awards and Gala on April 25.
Hundreds of Terry graduates, friends and supporters gathered at the InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta to celebrate Distinguished Alumni Award recipients Scott Sink (BBA ’84) and Laura Brightwell (BBA ’89) and Outstanding Young Alumni Award recipient Alex Hill (BBA ’10).
Sink is chairman of U.S. natural resources and head of the Birmingham office of Howden Insurance Brokers Limited. Prior to joining Howden, he served as the senior executive vice president and leader of McGriff, Seibels & Williams’ energy practice until 2024. Over three decades with the company, he played a pivotal role in building one of the largest power and utility practice groups in the industry.
Brightwell had a distinguished 25-year career at Coca-Cola Enterprises, retiring as senior vice president for public affairs and communications. As a company officer, she led a multinational team and directed the board’s corporate responsibility and sustainability committee.
Hill is senior director of investments at Icarus Alternative Investments, where he runs co-GP investment efforts and assists in the firm’s capital markets transactions. He is also one of three co-owners of Yonder Yoga, a fast-growing brand of yoga studios across the Southeast
The event was filled with excitement and energy, including a record-setting silent auction and an after-party featuring music from Swing Theory. Funds raised through corporate sponsorships and the auction benefit the Terry College Excellence Fund, supporting scholarships and student programs and elevating the Terry student experience.
