Hult's Executive-in-Residence Program

Hult faculty are leaders in thought and action. Our new Executive-in-Residence program ensures that our curriculum remains dynamic and relevant. For one academic year, Hult identifies and invites one senior business leader, entrepreneur or executive to participate as a student advisor and to teach courses as our Executive-in-Residence.

This year, our Executive-in-Residence is:
