Leeds continues to strengthen its reputation for academic excellence with an impressive cohort of new faculty members starting this fall.

Tenure-track faculty bring cutting-edge research and global expertise

Danielle Bovenberg, assistant professor of SEO, joins Leeds from the Yale School of Management, where she was a postdoctoral associate. She earned her PhD at UC Santa Barbara in 2023, focusing on technology management. Leeds’ “unique position at the intersection of innovation and entrepreneurship” drew her to the school.

“The Strategy and Entrepreneurship faculty bring diverse perspectives to studying innovation, creating an intellectually rich environment that really excites me,” Bovenberg said. “These strengths are further enhanced by our location in Boulder’s Front Range, where we're surrounded by world-class research institutions like NREL and NIST, alongside a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem.”

Bovenberg sees these factors perfectly aligned with her research, which explores how innovation happens at the frontiers of science and technology. She focuses on how skilled professionals collaborate to solve complex technical challenges.

Sebastian Schuetz, assistant professor of OLIA, was similarly drawn to Leeds by the opportunity to collaborate with “exceptional faculty” whose work he has long admired. He holds a PhD in information systems from the City University of Hong Kong.

Schuetz’s research centers on cybersecurity, particularly how leadership and management influence cybersecurity outcomes at both individual and organizational levels. He has designed curriculum on cybersecurity leadership, digital transformation, data visualization, and enterprise resource planning.

In 2023, he received the Best Reviewer Award from MIS Quarterly, the leading journal in the field. He also developed a research-backed education app that helps students retain course concepts—which he describes as “Duolingo for college courses.”

Mu-Jeung (MJ) Yang, assistant professor of Entrepreneurship and Strategy, left a tenured position at the University of Oklahoma to join Leeds. He earned his PhD in economics from UC Berkeley and cited the collegial atmosphere and strong scholarship in entrepreneurship and strategy at ��ý�Ļ��Ʒ as key motivators for him to come to Leeds.

Yang’s research interests include scientific approaches to entrepreneurship and venture capital, AI and data-driven decision-making, and transformative innovations. His co-authored research work includes interviews with CEOs of major corporations and startups, and collaborations with the state of Utah on COVID-19 recovery and entrepreneurship field experiments.

“Outside of Leeds, I was very much attracted to the opportunities of understanding the local quantum computing ecosystem,” he added.

Chenshan Hu, assistant professor of operations management, earned her PhD in supply chain, operations, and technology from the Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis. Her research focuses on data-driven problems in platform operations, environmental sustainability and healthcare operations. She said she was “drawn to Leeds by the exceptional research being conducted by faculty in the department and their incredibly welcoming, collaborative spirit.” She added, “The school’s strong commitment to sustainability perfectly aligns with my research interests in sustainable operations and environmental impact of business practices.”

Hu’s research focuses on sustainable operations, platform operations, healthcare operations, causal inference and structural estimation. Her teaching spans machine learning, operations management, data analytics and programming.

She was the winner of the 2024 INFORMS BOM Best Working Paper Award.

John G. Lynch Jr. Jane Majkiewicz Tue, 06/24/2025 - 09:52

Jane Majkiewicz

Distinguished Professor, Inaugural Director of the Initiative for Global Business Impact and Citizen Well-Being

A conversation with John Lynch is a delightful glimpse into the inner workings of an active, curious mind. You might expect someone with his curriculum vitae—filled with prestigious awards and honors—to regularly be found in a suit and tie. But more often than not, you’ll find him in jeans and a button-down shirt, exuding a relaxed intellect and a warm humility.

Lynch is the quintessential scholar, dedicated to asking the big “why” and “how” questions, even when the answers might challenge prevailing views. Talking with him, it’s almost as if you can see the wheels turning, and a discussion can take lively detours. Ask him a question, and he’s likely to ask a couple of his own, eager to explore deeper layers of understanding.

Take, for example, his influential work at Duke University between 1996 and 2009, where he laid out a roadmap for understanding why consumers, retailers and manufacturers might choose online versus brick-and-mortar retail channels. At a time when the dominant belief was that e-commerce would eliminate intermediaries, Lynch predicted a more complex evolution—much of which has since been validated.

His contributions have not gone unnoticed. Lynch has received numerous accolades, including being listed as the most admired active consumer researcher in the world in the Journal of Consumer Research (JCR) in 2024. In 2015, JCR named him one of the 10 most-published authors in the journal’s history and honored him with its Outstanding Reviewer Award for the second time.

Most recently, Lynch earned the American Marketing Association’s 2025 McGraw-Hill Irwin Distinguished Marketing Educator Award—the highest honor in the field of academic marketing—recognizing a career of remarkable teaching, research and mentorship.

Catalyzing a new field

Lynch joined Leeds in 2009 to start the Center for Research on Consumer Financial Decision Making (CFDM), which launched in 2010. Under his guidance, the center has become a globally recognized hub for interdisciplinary research at the intersection of psychology, marketing, economics and finance.

Having witnessed his former colleagues at the University of Florida shape the field of consumer behavior, Lynch was confident he could take that example to help Leeds follow suit, building upon ��ý�Ļ��Ʒ’s well-established reputation in the topic of decision-making. Lynch and his CU colleagues sought to bring meaningful insights to questions with real-world impact in consumer financial decision-making—studying how and why people make important decisions about things like buying cars or homes, saving for retirement, financing college, managing debt and more.

“We began with two major efforts. First, we launched the Boulder Summer Conference on Consumer Financial Decision Making, which was unique in bringing together dozens of academic disciplines with government and industry leaders," he said. And then Leeds brought in strong talent.

”Today, we’re one of the world’s leaders in this field [of consumer financial decision-making]. .... Some of the brightest stars at Leeds are working on this topic now, and I’m really proud of what they’ve accomplished.”

John G. Lynch Jr.

“When we started, we didn’t have many people who had published significantly in this area. But today, we’re one of the world’s leaders in this field.”

He’s especially proud of his colleagues: “Some of the brightest stars at Leeds are working on this topic now, and I’m really proud of what they’ve accomplished.”

Lynch pointed to the center’s focus on topics that resonate with people the world over. In spring 2025, for example, Lynch delivered the keynote address at the 20th Anniversary Conference of Netspar—the Network for Studies on Pensions, Aging and Retirement in the Netherlands—attended by the country’s Queen Máxima.

“The Netherlands has the best retirement system in the world,” he noted. “It’s fascinating to see how different countries tackle similar challenges like retirement, debt or funding education. Everyone’s trying to solve the same problems, but their approaches vary widely—and we can learn a lot by comparing them.”

Leading with a global perspective

Building on this ethos, Lynch was appointed the inaugural director of the Initiative for Global Business Impact and Citizen Well-Being, which will launch in fall 2025, made possible by an anonymous gift.

Consumer finance and sustainability are the center’s first two priorities—global topics of concern that resonate with everyone and that cross multiple academic disciplines.

“We’re especially interested in cases where interventions aimed at improving well-being are implemented through business,” Lynch said.

One early priority is strengthening ties with researchers in the Netherlands, particularly in retirement policy, where that country is a leader. But the scope is broad. “Water management is another area with enormous global relevance,” explained Lynch. “That’s the level of impact we would like to have.”

“Our role is to offer scientific insights grounded in rigorous research that policymakers and practitioners can trust.”

John G. Lynch Jr.

At the core of the initiative is a belief in evidence-based, apolitical research. “We’re not pushing an agenda or trying to make policy. Our role is to offer scientific insights grounded in rigorous research that policymakers and practitioners can trust.”

A lasting legacy

In addition to his scholarly impact, Lynch’s legacy includes mentoring more than 100 PhD students—many of whom now hold faculty positions at top business schools and who serve as department chairs, journal editors and industry leaders.

“Many of them have gone on to extraordinary careers,” Lynch said. “What’s most gratifying is the ongoing relationships. Anyone who’s had me as a dissertation chair gets what I call the ‘lifetime guarantee’—I’ll always be there for advice or collaboration.”

Reflecting on his full career of teaching and working with exceptional colleagues, Lynch is deeply grateful.

“I have worked only at amazing places. And I've had amazing students.”

Distinguished Professor John Lynch has shaped Leeds' success through award-winning teaching, research and mentorship—and he’s not done. He will lead a new global initiative launching this fall, further elevating Leeds’ reputation for research excellence.

From the C-Suite to the Classroom: How Leeds’ Executive MBA is Redefining Business Leadership

From the C-Suite to the Classroom: How Leeds’ Executive MBA is Redefining Business Leadership Jane Majkiewicz Tue, 05/27/2025 - 09:38

The University of Colorado Boulder’s Leeds School of Business has found its stride in the competitive landscape of graduate business education, thanks to its dynamic Executive MBA program—which just graduated its third cohort.

The Leeds Executive MBA:
Rising in the Ranks

#5 among U.S. public university business schools for career outcomes
#49 globally for employer reputation

Source: QS (Quacquarelli Symonds) EMBA rankings

Designed for high-level professionals seeking transformational leadership development, the Executive MBA (EMBA) program continues to distinguish itself with a hybrid structure, world-class faculty, and a curriculum infused with relevance and rigor. The professional program complements the school’s long-standing and well regarded full-time and professional part-time MBA programs, offering a full suite of options for continuing students and busy professionals alike.

“Our Executive MBA students are already leaders,” said Tracee DeAntoni, senior program director for the Executive MBA at Leeds. “We have physicians, attorneys, scientists, CEOs and CISOs in the cohort—leaders learning from leaders.”

Purposeful design

The Leeds EMBA features a lockstep curriculum centered around three pillars: leadership, innovation and inclusion. Students progress together through foundational business topics and advanced courses drawn from Leeds’ other MBA programs.

“One key differentiator is that we’ve built a cohesive program with world-class faculty and select industry practitioners,” said Lori Seward, faculty director of MBA programs. “Other programs may rely on adjuncts or faculty from outside institutions, but most of the instruction comes from our Leeds faculty.”

The hybrid format combines online learning with three in-person residencies each year, including three weeklong sessions and a three-day orientation and second-year kick-off event. This structure allows working professionals to fully engage without sacrificing their careers.

“We reduce the cognitive load so students can focus on learning,” Seward said. “They don’t have to pick courses or manage complex schedules.”

Recognition and global reach

The Leeds EMBA has already achieved notable rankings, including #49 globally for employer reputation, #63 for career outcomes overall and #5 among U.S. public schools for career outcomes, according to the recently released QS (Quacquarelli Symonds) EMBA rankings.

“It’s exciting to be one of the youngest programs ranked globally—and the only new U.S. addition this year,” said Seward.

A 10-day international residency caps the second year, offering students exposure to global markets and cross-cultural business leadership.

Tight-knit community, immediate impact

Each cohort includes a small number of students to foster connection and exceptional personal attention, and students remain in the same small study groups throughout the program. This cohort-based model at Leeds encourages collaboration, mentorship and alumni engagement.

“Alumni return regularly for events and mentoring,” DeAntoni said. “The community is one of our strongest assets.”

Students also see immediate benefits at work. “Whatever you're learning today in the classroom, you can apply tomorrow at work,” Seward said.

Signature experiences—like the Innovation Challenge—with real clients and a second-year pitch competition, offer hands-on leadership development. Executive coaching is also included, helping students clarify goals and pursue promotions or career pivots.

“We’ve seen students promoted during the program—sometimes earlier than expected,” Seward noted. “And our alumni network supports students in everything from how to survive school and work, navigating LinkedIn, to career advice.”

“There’s a value in having people that aren’t in your day-to-day business that can provide some third-party feedback and can give you their experience ...”

Lauren McCabe (MBA’25)

Already a well-established leader among leaders, Lauren McCabe, a recent graduate from the Executive MBA program and awarded the EMBA Student Excellence Award by the faculty, acknowledges the value of refining some of the tools in her toolkit.

Throughout the EMBA program, having the opportunity to refine some of the tools in her toolkit was impactful, especially in the practice of highly focused, peer-evaluated presentations, which McCabe said is probably one of the strongest skills she’s taken away from the program.

“There’s a value in having people that aren’t in your day-to-day business that can provide some third-party feedback and can give you their experience, their exposure, how they may handle a situation that I might not have thought of because of my specific industry experience,” McCabe said.

2025 Teaching and Staff Award Recipients Shine Kelsey Cipolla Fri, 05/09/2025 - 10:00

Anna Sheffer

Leeds faculty do more than just teach—they encourage, mentor and advocate for their students. Meanwhile, Leeds staff show up every day to help students have the best student experience possible and achieve their goals. These faculty and staff are recognized annually for their contributions to students’ education and experience. Here’s a look at some of our award recipients this year.

Frascona Teaching Excellence Award

Established by the Falkenberg family in 1992, the Joseph L. Frascona Teaching Excellence Award honors Leeds faculty who go the extra mile.

The recipient of the 2025 Frascona Teaching Excellence Award is Lev Szentkirályi, an assistant teaching professor in the Social Responsibility and Sustainability (SRS) Division. Szentkirályi called receiving the award “humbling and validating,” as he worked to reinvent himself as a teacher and scholar since joining Leeds in 2022, while noting that “faculty are only as good as their students.”

“You can have the best intentions and the best topics in a class, and if the students aren't there to help carry that burden of creating an engaging classroom, it's going to fail,” he said. “This award is on behalf of all those students who make teaching a privilege.”

Szentkirályi holds a PhD in political science from CU and a master’s in philosophy from the University of Connecticut. He also holds bachelor’s degrees in political science and environmental science. Before teaching at Leeds, he taught skills-based academic writing courses at the CU College of Arts and Sciences. No matter what he is teaching, he uses his multidisciplinary background to focus on applied ethics.

In the classroom, Szentkirályi consistently challenges students to make personal connections with course content, such as asking his first-year World of Business students to look at local Zillow listings and to critically reflect on the limited availability of affordable off-campus housing when discussing resource scarcity.

“If I can get them to be thinking about the relevance of these different topics that we talk about, and they can carry it with them into the future, that's where I hope the intangible meets the tangible,” he said. “I would like to think we're creating thoughtful generations of future community leaders.”

Finalists for the 2025 Frascona Teaching Award also included David Gross, a teaching professor and the associate chair in the Finance Division, and Erin Lionberger, an assistant teaching professor in Professional Effectiveness. Gross was recognized for his in-depth teaching materials and his sense of humor. He noted that humor is part of his natural communication style, which then shows up in his teaching.

“In any relationship or any situation in which you’re interacting with people, a connection is important,” he explained.

Lionberger garnered praise for her student engagement, which she does by relating the material to students’ lives.

“To be relatively early in my teaching career and reach finalist status feels pretty surreal,” she said. “I have to give a huge shoutout to my division and my colleagues—I definitely wouldn’t be here without their support and guidance.”

Innovative Teaching Award

Matthew Brady, 2025 David B. Balkin and Rosalind & Chester Barnow Endowed Innovative Teaching Award winner

The 2025 David B. Balkin and Rosalind & Chester Barnow Endowed Innovative Teaching Award has been awarded to Matthew Brady, an assistant teaching professor in the Organizational Leadership & Information Analytics (OLIA) Division. Brady’s courses are united in their entrepreneurial approach and embrace of AI technology.

“I try to bring these techniques into the classroom because I don't know another way,” Brady said. “I am an entrepreneur and I'm thinking about the students being entrepreneurs and future business leaders, and so I want to equip them accordingly.”

Brady’s courses often focus on “low-code” development—enabling students to use AI to build their own applications. As an instructor, he models his classroom after the boardroom, asking students to familiarize themselves with resources before class and then ask questions about what they have learned.

“I try to give them the tools and let them become the artists, and they can learn art by way of watching other artists learn,” he said. “That's a real joy.”

Brady has also helped found several hands-on learning opportunities for students, including the Sustainability Hackathon and the newly launched Boulder Founder Summit, which connects students to funding and mentors in the start-up world.

The runner-up for this year’s Balkin Award is Sina Khoshsokhan, assistant professor of Strategy & Entrepreneurship.

Leeds Values Awards

The Leeds Values Award recognizes one staff member and one faculty member who best embody Leeds’ values. This year, the winners are Tracy Sanders and Yonca Ertimur.

2025 Leeds Value Award Winners Yonca Ertimur and Tracy Sanders

Yonca Ertimur is the Tandean Rustandy Esteemed Professor and the recipient of the 2025 Leeds Values Award for faculty, which she won due to her unwavering dedication to excellence and impact. Before her current position, she served as the senior associate dean for faculty, the acting dean of the Leeds School of Business and as the chair of the Accounting Division.

Tracy Sanders is the assistant to the division chairs at the Office of Finance and Administration. She is the recipient of the 2025 Leeds Values Award for staff for embodying Leeds values in all she does.
