Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) is a private, nonprofit, regionally accredited university based in Manchester/Hooksett, New Hampshire. Founded in 1932 as a small accounting school, it reinvented itself under president Paul LeBlanc into the largest nonprofit provider of online higher education in the United States, serving more than 200,000 learners through over 200 degree and certificate programs while keeping a roughly 3,000-student traditional campus.
Kenneth Lee is the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, and Executive Vice President of Finance and Administration, at Southern New Hampshire University, one of the largest nonprofit providers of online higher education in the United States. Since 2018 he has steered the money behind a 16,000-employee institution that turned a small regional college into a national online powerhouse, overseeing finance, accounting, financial planning, treasury, tax, internal controls, procurement, and the campus and facilities themselves. A two-time Harvard graduate and former A.T. Kearney partner, Lee spent seventeen years in consulting and senior corporate roles before deciding the most interesting balance sheets were the ones attached to a mission.
