My mission is to harness the power of business, science and technology to educate a new generation of leaders dedicated to human-centered innovation and positive change.
“Your BELIEFS become your thoughts, your THOUGHTS become your words, your WORDS become your actions, your ACTIONS become your habits, your HABITS become your values, your VALUES become YOUR DESTINY.”
I am a dean, professor, trainer, speaker, author, and educational entrepreneur.
I currently serve as a Dean of IE Business School and as a professor of Behavioral Science and Leadership at IE University in Madrid.
Imagine an organization in which employees at all levels are able to out-think and out-behave the competition… literally, over and over again in the moments of every workday that matter most. This is a company with a behavioral advantage, and my professional mission is to help individuals, teams and organizations achieve this type of advantage.
Experience. Prior to my current roles, I served as Dean of the IE School of Human Sciences & Technology, as an Engagement Manager with McKinsey & Company in Chicago and as a founder and senior manager in two technology-based start-ups in New York City (Brainstorm Interactive, and HR One).
Education. I completed interdisciplinary doctoral studies at the University of Michigan combining Psychology (Cognition & Cognitive Neuroscience) and Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence). I also hold an MBA (M.I.T. Sloan), a Masters in Technology Policy (M.I.T. TPP), and a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering magna cum laude and with honors (Brown University).
