Turman Service Award Recipients

John W. Spiegel 65MBA

As the recipient of the 2013 J. Pollard Turman Alumni Service Award, Spiegel continues to build his legacy at Emory University and the Goizueta Business School. He explained his philosophy. “It’s been important in my life to give back to Emory, the same way they gave to me. They gave me an opportunity to be excited about learning. They gave me an opportunity to get a foundation off of which I was able to build in business,” he said. This award reconfirms that “Emory is not just a campus, it’s not just teachers. It is a place of excitement, of learning, and growth. And that’s all special.”

In support of Spiegel’s nomination, Lawrence Benveniste, dean of Goizueta, said, “[He] has been one of our most loyal and committed alums. He has stepped up in numerous capacities including volunteer fundraising, serving on our Dean’s Advisory Board and being a very significant and special advisor to the Dean. John’s commitment to the Goizueta Business School is unsurpassed.”

Spiegel continues to provide ardent support for growth within Emory’s Goizueta Business School by serving as an admissions volunteer and mentor. Spiegel is the retired vice chairman and chief financial officer of SunTrust Banks, one of the nation’s largest commercial banking organizations. During his forty-year tenure at SunTrust, Spiegel was responsible for the company’s finance-related functions including accounting, funds management, risk management, strategic finance and taxes, mergers and acquisitions, investor relations, and the treasury unit. He also serves as a board member and leader for various corporations, charitable institutions, professional organizations, and museums.

Spiegel is a consecutive donor and an active volunteer with service to the Association of Emory Alumni Leadership Committee, Emory Board of Visitors, the Chair of the Goizueta Leadership Alliance Initiative, the Goizueta Advisory Board.
