Academic Rigor, Real World Impact
Dr. Ekeroma holds a PhD in Business Analytics from the University of South Alabama, where his research focused on AI-driven decision models for high-uncertainty environments. He also holds a Master's in Supply Chain Management and an MBA in Technology Management from the University of Washington, with certifications from Harvard (Master of Negotiation), Cornell (Lean Six Sigma Black Belt), and Yale (Digital Marketing).
Among the few Pacific Islander scholars at the doctoral level in business analytics and AI, Dr. Ekeroma translates complex problems and data into frameworks that organizations and institutional leaders can actually use. He doesn't just study decision science—he teaches leaders how to apply it when the stakes are high and time is limited.
What truly sets Dr. Ekeroma apart is his heritage. He is a High Chief—Lemalu—from the village of Matautu, Lefaga, the birthplace of his father and ancestral home of his family. This prestigious title, bestowed by his late grandmother Fa'afiu Lemalu, represents generations of leadership and carries centuries of respect and responsibility.
The Lemalu name is among Samoa's most revered. For many who meet The Chief, there's a powerful moment of recognition—they're not just speaking with a global consultant and scholar, but with a High Chief whose voice bridges ancient tradition and modern achievement.
