Daniel P. Amos, Terry College of Business alumnus, has recently been named as one of the Top 100 Influential Leaders by the AACSB, the global membership association and accrediting body for business schools.
Amos, a 1973 graduate of Terry College, now serves as chairman/CEO for Aflac. Currently the leading provider of individual insurance policies at worksites in the United States, Aflac revenues have increased from $2.7 billion to over $23.9 billion during Amos’ leadership.
Amos has remained connected with Terry College throughout his professional career, recently chairing the national campaign cabinet for the college’s Building Terry Campaign, raising more than $121 million for the college. In honor of his generous support, the college has named their new Business Learning Community for him.
Terry College Dean, Benjamin C.

His leadership and support have been essential in our efforts to develop the next generation of business leaders.”
