What’s your teaching style?
My style is very non-traditional, personal, and
purposeful. I’m committed to bringing the real
world into the classroom through practical
insights and exercises with an emphasis on
experiential learning and leadership and
strategic influence elements in every class.
I keep students on their toes so they’re
constantly engaged, surprised, and genuinely
enjoying learning.
That, and chocolate. I’m married to a
chocolate maker, so always have some with
me. It’s a powerful engagement tool.
Why is it important for business students
to receive a global education?
I’ve worked in 80+ countries and it’s
completely shaped the person and
professional I am today. A global education
and building social capital are imperative to be
competitive and relevant in the marketplace.
