Born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Tiger Worku’s journey is defined by ambition, vision, and an unwavering commitment to community. From an early age, Tiger demonstrated a drive to excel — traveling the country as a competitive chess champion, where he honed the discipline, strategy, and patience that would later define his business leadership.

By his late teens, Tiger was already making his mark. At just 19 years old, he published his first book, sharing ideas that reflected his passion for growth and leadership. At 20, he stepped into the political arena, running for public office — a bold move that showcased his dedication to civic engagement and the betterment of his community.

Academically, Tiger pursued an accelerated path, earning a bachelor’s degree with a dual major in Business Administration and IT Management and a master’s degree in Management and Leadership; all by the age of 22. Continuing his commitment to education and thought leadership, Tiger is currently pursuing his Doctorate in Public Policy, further deepening his expertise in governance, economic development, and community empowerment.

In founding The Worku Group, Tiger brought his vision to life: a diversified enterprise focused on real estate, healthcare, and community development. Under his leadership, the company operates on the belief that business success must go hand in hand with social responsibility.

For Tiger, every property acquired, every project launched, and every opportunity created is a step toward a greater mission: empowering individuals, strengthening families, and building a legacy of economic and social prosperity that uplifts entire communities. His story is one of early achievement, relentless determination, and a lifelong commitment to making a meaningful impact.
