Chuck Lacy ’80, the former president of Ben & Jerry’s, had an active hand in expanding the company’s sales growth from $17 million to $160 million. But despite his impressive success in the business world, he’s incredibly down to earth.

Whether he was describing his family, his time at Amherst or the small businesses he’s worked with, what’s most striking about Lacy is his humility.
