Faculty

Business leaders.  Innovative thinkers.  Entrepreneurs.  These are the men and women who make up the distinguished faculty at the Richard DeVos Graduate School of Management.

Our faculty combines premier academic credentials with significant business experience.  They understand the influence of technology and global competition, the impact of international finance, as well as the marketing, global strategy, and organizational behavior elements that affect today’s managers as they compete in a changing global economy.

Globally recognized for their innovative efforts in business management, DeVos faculty have left their mark on virtually every industry, and as important, have fostered, developed, and prepared hundreds of MBA students to be the business leaders of tomorrow.

Even though each faculty member brings a unique perspective and outlook to the interactive classroom, they all share several common attributes:  they work closely with and take a personal interest in DeVos students, are deeply committed to making the learning environment at DeVos meaningful and stimulating, and are dedicated to building a curriculum that reflects the latest trends and time-tested principles.
