After 34 years in the corporate world, I am
happy to be teaching students how to become leaders in their own organizations.
Together, we discuss academic theories, practical real world cases, meet with
business leaders and experience simulated team and board situations that
require vision, critical strategic thinking and sensitive persuasive
communications. As a clinical faculty member, I bring experience in corporate
planning, mergers and acquisitions. I also bring experience in leadership at
branded, global companies such as Starbucks, Pillsbury and Kraft, and at
entrepreneurial small companies into the classroom. We work to mentor, advise
and connect students to the business leaders and internship and career opportunities.
