Cook School of Business Student/Alumni Spotlight: The Ospina Brothers

We shine a spotlight on the remarkable journey of the Ospina brothers - Daniel, Juan, and David - who have left and continue to leave a mark on CIU and the business/sports world. 

Daniel Ospina

Daniel first joined CIU in 2019, embarking on a path in Business Administration and Management. Known not only for his academic prowess but also for his exceptional leadership on the soccer field, Daniel achieved numerous accolades during his time at CIU. His dedication and character played a pivotal role in his team’s unprecedented successes, earning him awards for both sportsmanship and leadership. 

After graduating, Daniel continued to pursue excellence by completing an MBA, showcasing his commitment to continuous growth and learning. Today, he channels his expertise into managing a thriving sports management agency, helping international athletes achieve their athletic dreams. 

Juan Ospina

Following in his brother’s footsteps, Juan enrolled at CIU the following year, focusing on Business with a minor in Sport Management. Like Daniel, Juan excelled academically, earning a place on the Dean’s Honor List for his outstanding achievements. His dedication to his studies was matched only by his skill on the soccer field, where he also made significant contributions to his team’s success. 

Juan’s passion for sports and business has led him to join his brothers in their sports management venture, where his insights and leadership continue to drive their agency forward. 

David Ospina

The youngest of the Ospina brothers, David, has been following the family tradition at CIU since 2023. Combining his studies in Business with his love for soccer and entrepreneurship, David has shown the same determination and discipline that define his brothers’ legacies at CIU. 

Acknowledging the transformative impact of their education at CIU, the Ospina brothers credit the school for providing them with the skills and tools necessary to navigate the complex world of business and sports management. Their collective journey serves as an inspiring example of how dedication, education, and a strong sense of purpose can pave the way to entrepreneurial success. 

As they continue to expand their influence in the sports industry, the Ospina brothers remain committed to upholding the values of excellence, integrity, and service instilled in them during their time at CIU.
