With a career spanning three decades in academia, I've worn various hats, being an educator, researcher, and servant leader in higher education. I am an experienced administrative leader, with roles ranging from President of the Academy of Management and of the Iberoamerican Academy of Management to founding and serving as the Executive Director of a self-funded institute focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion. My administrative leadership experience also involves having served as Department of Management Chair, Director of a Master’s in Human Resource Management Program, and Chair of the School of Business Diversity Council. I also led the the Academy of Management Research Methods Division as Chair and served as Editor-in-Chief of the journal Organizational Research Methods, among several other administrator and leadership roles.
These principles are not mere words; they represent who I am and reflect my actions and decisions. Importantly, my research and teaching also shape my administrative leadership philosophy and practices. Topics like leadership, workforce diversity, innovation and entrepreneurship, talent acquisition and development, corporate social responsibility and sustainability, ethics, strategic planning, and behavioral and data science form the foundation of my research and inform my daily strategic focus and operational decision-making.
