Bad Boy CFO Keeps the Faith

This Thursday, September 24th, Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City is hosting a special evening with Bad Boy Worldwide Entertainment Group CFO, Derek Ferguson. The Harvard Business School (HBS) graduate who holds down the bottom line for Diddy’s empire will be sharing what challenges he faces as he lives out his faith in the midst of the music industry.

In a past interview with the HBS alumni magazine Bulletin, Ferguson explained why he feels peace about working in the industry, despite the negativity he encounters:

“I don’t think we’re called to run away from controversial environments. We’re called to run to them and try to create change,” he says. Acting on that credo, Ferguson also leads a weekly Bible study for employees of Bad Boy. “I was never the type to wear my faith on my sleeve. It seemed inappropriate,” he recalls. “I had to overcome that barrier because I felt so called to take action.”

Tickets are available now at Redeemer.com for $20.
